I seem to have skipped it while reading my mails,
I don't remember this suggestion at all. Sorry.

Sure it's simpler but then the consistent look of the code is lost.
What about the other patch to unify pg_malloc and friends?
Basically all client code boils down to
fprintf(stderr, ...)
in different disguise in their error reporting, so that patch can
also be simplified but it seems that the atexit() - either explicitly
or hidden behind InitPostgresFrontend() - cannot be avoided.
