What do you see as being missing for autonomous transactios?

BTW, what I think would make this feature VERY useful is if it provided the ability to fire something up in another
backendand leave it running in the background. I think you can do that with FDW, but then you have the authentication
PITAto deal with (and perhaps pg_background is a more efficient way to move data between backends than FDW, but that's
justa guess...)
