Wouldn't it be better to set the preferred search path as part of your
per-user defaults? I'm suspicious of adding such warts to client
libraries.
Some objections to the patch as posted:
1. No documentation.
2. It appears that the patch will forcibly set the search path whether
the user asked for it or not. This means that any installation,
per-database, or per-user default setting will be overridden. The
patch's idea of the appropriate default does not even match the
factory default ("$user,public" IIRC).
3. (Another aspect of inappropriate default behavior) If public schema
doesn't exist, patch causes all connection attempts to fail.
