That'd be an amazingly expensive way to do it.

I was imagining that pg_regress could contain a function that
issues some predefined queries and complains if the results
aren't empty. It already has the ability to issue commands
to the cluster-under-test (for the initial CREATE DATABASE etc)
so at least most of the infrastructure is easily at hand.
