Tom's objection to a GUC applies there too - a client app can send that
when the underlying driver doesn't expect to get the results.

I'm not completely convinced that's a problem - oh dear, the app breaks.
The answer to so many other things in Pg is "well, don't do that then"
that I don't see this as overly different.

However, granting that it is a problem, the same objection to a GUC
applies to this too.
