Just whatever handle was used to call the method that's generating the warning.

Ah, different issue. For that I'd say if DBIc_WARN(imp_xxh) isn't true
then disable the PQsetNoticeProcessor function.

Actually I'd misunderstood the circumstances of the warn (not reading
your message carefully enough). For notice messages generated by
the database server they'll soon(ish) be a $h->{HandleEvent} = sub { ... }
hook that should be used.

But that'll bring you back to needing some way for the PQsetNoticeProcessor
function to get at the handle data it'll need to pass to the HandleEvent
hook. The PQsetNoticeProcessor API ought to allow you to some way to do that.
