Yeah, that will work. Looks simple to implement in the client. Question is: why don't you think it should be a part of the libpq's API? It's a must have feature in high availability environments where only several minutes of Out of Service per year are tolerable.
I am not sure if it is the right mailing list to ask, but - would a patch with the function be considered?
