I confess to not having been paying too much attention to your discussion
with Fujii over the holiday, but isn't it a bit too late to be making
client-API-breaking changes in 9.4? I would have been fine with this
before RC1 went out, but once we do that, the branch should be treated
as released. And we would never consider removing a library API symbol
in a released branch.

I concur that PQhostaddr wasn't correctly documented, but maybe the
answer to that is to fix the documentation.
