What are your current thoughts about a fallback for this? It seems possible
to implement the session module ontop of BackgroundPsql.pm, if necessary. But
I suspect we'll eventually get to a point where that gets less and less
convenient.
How much of a dependency is FFI::Platypus, compared to requiring perl headers
to be installed? In case FFI::Platypus is a complicted dependency, a small XS
wrapper could be an alternative.
