I see your point, and it has a lot of merit.  We am completely open to 
hearing how this can be solved.

How do we duplicate a result object and customize many member values 
after the dup?

Do we create a PGresultInfo struct containing all members of a result 
object that gets passed to "PGresuolt *PQresultDup(PGresult *source, 
PGresultInfo *info);"?  Maybe it has a flags member that indicates which 
PQresultInfo members contain values that should override the source result.

Any suggestions?  This is where we are stumped.  Everything else has 
several solutions.  We are not debating this anymore, we are trying to 
implement it.
