There was some discussion of including the results of side effects
(triggers etc.) along with the results of the primary query over the
FE/BE protocol.

Has this been taken any further for the new protocol version?

If this is to be pursued, I think it would be great if:
  - The side effect response was explicitly marked as such
      (as opposed to just being the nth CursorResponse message)
  - There would be a way (SET, perhaps) to suppress side effect
     responses .
