That seems fine to me, too. If somebody wants to add a pg_ctl feature
to extract this or any other information from the postmaster.pid file,
that can be a separate patch. But it's not necessarily the case that
users would even prefer that interface. Some might, some might not. Or
so it seems to me, anyway.
