If it can't figure out a way to issue a command in between handing
around a connection to different clients then, yeah, I'd call it a bug
that needs to be fixed. Maybe other systems don't need it, and it can
be a no-op there, but the capability certainly needs to be there.

errr, I don't believe RESET ALL touches cache'd plans and whatnot (which
is actually a problem I've run into in the past, because changing the
search_path also doesn't invalidate plans, and neither does set role, so
you end up with cache'd plans that try to hit things you don't have
permissions to any more :( ).
