What do you consider to be "providing XA support"? XA requires there to
be a transaction manager somewhere, which is not something libpq can
provide since it's dependent on the good graces of its host application.
Maybe there would be some value in teaching libpq to interact with an
external XA manager, but what exactly do you think is required?
