Yeah. I've been thinking we might want to give each backend a backend-lifetime DSA that is created on first use. That could be useful for some parallel query stuff and maybe for this as well. Other backends could attach to it to read data from it, and it would go away on last detach (which would normally be the detach by the creating backend, but not if somebody else happens to be reading at the moment the backend exits).
That seems like a pretty good idea. I've been considering something simliar for the usecase of being able to view the "collected but not sent yet" statistics inside a backend (which tables have been accessed, number of reads etc),and this seems like it could be used for that as well.
