you're right about the warning in the header file. I am just thinking of
the maintenance of this in case new parameters are added in the
future. How do we ensure it reflects in the command output?
Maybe have an API in fe-connect.c that returns a list of all
pstatus->name and then for each value call PQParameterStatus?
But this patch still needs agreement on the high level points discussed
earlier.
