Re: /* */ comments showing up in pg_stat_activity

We do, but that wasn't the question.

I think you can asume that it'll stay that way because it is part of the
query string the backend is currently chewing on. What shows up in
pg_stat_activity is whatever was in the received query buffer before
starting to parse it. So we would have a hard time at that point to
filter out the comments.

The question back is from where does such a query with a comment come?
If it is a standard client like psql, it could happen someday that this
client does some filtering. If you're using libpq or another API that is
basically a libpq wrapper, you're pretty safe.
