I like it.

However it's fails on windows:

https://cirrus-ci.com/task/5545965036765184

running bootstrap script ... FATAL: GUC (PGC_BOOL) update_process_title, boot_val=0, C-var=1

Maybe you need to exclude dynamically set gucs ?
See also this other thread, where I added a flag identifying exactly

I need to polish that patch some, but maybe it'll be useful for you, too.
