Indeed … as I mentioned up-thread already.

Are we saying that we want this to be available server side, and largely
duplicated, specifically to cater to non-libpq users?  I’ll put out there,
again, the idea that perhaps we put it into the common library then and
make it available via both libpq and as a server side function ..?

We also have similar code in postgres_fdw.. ideally, imv anyway, we’d not
end up with three copies of it.

Thanks,

Stephen
