Thanks for the pointer to the history.

I had zero enthusiasm for going that way anyway and was mostly trying to
figure out what Sridhar was talking about. It's useful to know it's already
been explored though.

I think we know where we need to go from here - updating that PgJDBC patch
to add a connection option, making sure it doesn't add round-trips, adding
tests and merging it. At this point it's up to Sridhar to start putting
time and development effort into it to push it forward if desired.
