I've just done a grep of the source and found there's quite a number of
unimplemented methods (see attached), not just constrained to JDBC4.
Perhaps it would be worth adding these to the todo list on
http://jdbc.postgresql.org/todo.html? It might draw more developers by
making it known there is lots to do, certainly I will look to lend a
hand now that I know what's not done!
