Yes, supporting all GUC options is something we certainly wouldn't want to
do by providing a method for each one.  Especially since different server
versions have different options and syntax.  I imagine setGUC(String name,
String value) would be sufficient.  I suppose also we would have to be
aware of GUC options that the driver sets itself (like datestyle and
client_encoding) to ensure that these are not overwritten.
