=======
-* Add a libpq function to support Parse/DescribeStatement capability
-* Add PQescapeIdentifier() to libpq
-* Prevent PQfnumber() from lowercasing unquoted the column name
-
- PQfnumber() should never have been doing lowercasing, but historically
- it has so we need a way to prevent it
-
* Have initdb set the input DateStyle (MDY or DMY) based on locale?
* Have pg_ctl look at PGHOST in case it is a socket directory?
* Allow pg_ctl to work properly with configuration files located outside
o Add internationalized message strings

+
+ o Allow query results to be automatically batched to the client
+
+ Currently, all query results are transfered to the libpq
+ client before libpq makes the results available to the
+ application. This feature would allow the application to make
+ use of the first result rows while the rest are transfered, or
+ held on the server waiting for them to be requested by libpq.
+ One complexity is that a query like SELECT 1/col could error
+ out mid-way through the result set.
