Afraid not. One of the commercial versions of PG offered it as a feature
IIRC, but I could be wrong, and if so it was some time ago.

Not afaik - there's plenty of interest, but no-one with enough time and
knowledge I think.

That might be tricky as a general case, since I'm not sure all of them
offer a suitable out-of-band channel that could be used to send the
relevant control/debug data. You could always make it part of the SQL
interface, I suppose that would automatically give you cross-client support.
