The regression tests don't come anywhere *near* full coverage of psql,
let alone libpq (which has many features psql never heard of).

I learned this the hard way awhile ago :-(.  It's difficult to see how
to do regression testing of async behavior though, at least with the
simplistic test methods we have now.
