Something like my scenario is needed because there could be
more than 1 statement objects with relatively different
query timeout at the same time in theory.

We shouldn't expect too much on psql in the first place
because it isn't procedural. I don't expect too much on
libpq either because it's a low level interface. However
applications which use libpq could do like odbc or jdbc
does. Or libpq could also provide a function which encap-
sulates the query timeout handling if necessary.
