I suppose we know (or at least believe) those encodings during backend 
startup:

* client encoding - the client_encoding parameter passed in the startup 
packet, or if that's not present, client_encoding GUC value.

* server encoding - the encoding of strings gettext() returns.  That is what 
GetPlatformEncoding() returns.

Am I correct?
