It is not sent to the server as a trailing comment. The following file
is sent to the server like this.
File:
/**/;
/**/
Commands:
PQexec(..., "/**/;");
PQexec(..., "/**/");
If this has to be fixed it should be in the client. I think people would
complain if we broke the API by starting to throw an exception on PQexec
with a string containing no actual query.
