But it is a "sect1" in libpq.  It should be a "sect1" somewhere that
makes more sense.

Right now it appears here:Table of Contents1. libpq - C Library    1.1. Introduction    1.2. Database Connection
Functions   1.3. Command Execution Functions    1.4. Asynchronous Query Processing    1.5. The Fast-Path Interface
1.6.Asynchronous Notification    1.7. Functions Associated with the COPY Command    1.8. libpq Tracing Functions
1.9.libpq Control Functions    1.10. Environment Variables          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^    1.11. Files    1.12.
ThreadingBehavior    1.13. Building Libpq Programs    1.14. Example Programs
 

It doesn't belong in libpq, and it doesn't belong in the Programmer's
Guide.
