So, is anyone making progress on this? I don't see anything in the
thread.

On adding the missing pg_* wrappers: I think if we don't (and we leave
the retry loops at the File* layer), then the risk is that some external
code would add calls to the underlying File* routines trusting them to
do the retrying, which would then become broken when we move the retry
loops to the pg_* wrappers when we add them. That doesn't seem terribly
serious to me.
