Sounds reasonable.

I was wondering if it was worth teaching PGstream (or a subclass) about
the protocol format. Then it could automatically check for oversize
messages, that we wrote as much data we claimed, and that when reading a
server message we consumed the entire message. I don't know what the
overhead of doing this would be, though.
