It would be easy (and essentially free, since libpq already gets the info)
to add such a notice to psql startup. How do other people feel about
it? How would you word the notice exactly?
"psql: server version is FOO, psql version is BAR, some things may not work"
seems awfully vague, but I doubt we can be much more specific ...
