backend_pid()

	return the pid of our corresponding backend.

unlisten(relname)

	unlisten from a relation or from all relations if the argument
	is null, empty or '*'.
	It is now obsoleted by the new unlisten command but still useful
	if you want unlisten a name computed by the query.
	Note that a listen/notify relname can be any ascii string, not
	just valid relation names.

min(x,y)
max(x,y)

	return the min or max of two integers.
