Fair enough (although the intent is to get to that state at some point).

I quite like that idea! Although maybe not 7FFF, but 270F so that
PQfullProtocolVersion returns 39999. And I think it'd be good to also
add a protocol option, like _pq_.test_protocol_breakage and fail the
connection attempt client side if that does not get returned back as
unsupported. I'll try to update this patch to do that in the coming days.
