Looks good to me, except that pg_asprintf seems to be checking ret
instead of rc.
Is there a reason for the API discrepancy of pg_asprintf vs. psprintf?
I don't see that we use the integer return value anywhere. Callers
interested in the return value can use asprintf directly (and you have
already inserted callers that do nonstandard things using direct
asprintf).
