I think that'd be rather confusing. For one it'd need to be
idle_in_transaction_timeout which already seems less clear (because the
transaction belongs to idle) and for another that distinction seems to
be to subtle for users.
The reason I suggested
idle_in_transaction_termination/cancellation_timeout is that that maps
nicely to pg_terminate/cancel_backend() and is rather descriptive.
