there is no problem if you use "restore point" names... but of course
you lose flexibility (ie: you can't restore to 5 minutes before now)

mmm... a lazy idea: can't we just create a restore point wal record
*before* we actually drop the database? then we won't need to modify
logic about recovery_target_* (if it is only DROP DATABASE maybe that's
enough about complicating code) and we can provide that protection since
