About large objects asynchronous and non-blocking support

Hi.

At the moment libpq doesn't seem to support asynchronous and
non-blocking support for large objects, in the style of
PQsendQuery/PQgetResult. This makes large objects hardly suited for
single-threaded programs based on some variant of select().

I would like to know whether this is a deliberate decision or it is
considered a bug, and, in case, whether it is scheduled to be fixed.

Though I cannot guarantee anything, I may be interested into working out
a patch, if no one is already doing the same (of course I understand
that this patch wouldn't be for 9.3, which is already in its late
release cycle).

Do you think this may be of interest?

Thanks, Giovanni.
