Well, maybe they don't. If they don't then the compatibility issue
largely goes away, I think.
This is the wrong list to be asking in, though. I'd suggest asking in
pgsql-interfaces, pgsql-odbc, and pgsql-jdbc. If there are no
objections there, then I'd be willing to support a BOOLEANSTYLE
parameter.
