Hi,

As per discussion on -hackers, type input functions can be called prior
to there being a current snapshot, causing any queries you execute to
fail with the "no snapshot has been set" error. So I propose to simply
have SPI_connect fail right off the bat and document that to avoid
future surprises. At least until the issue of non-immutable type input
functions has been sorted out.

Have a nice day,
