Saving and restoring the previous noticeProcessor or noticeReceiver handler
function works, unless they actually made use of the "arg" pass-through
argument.  For example, somewhere you have:
     PQsetNoticeProcessor(conn, myNoticeProc, &mydata);

And somewhere else you want to temporarily override the noticeProcessor:
     prevNoticeProc = PQsetNoticeProcessor(conn, newNoticeProc, &newdata);
     /* ... Do something which makes a notice ... */

     /* Restore previous notice processor */
     PQsetNoticeProcessor(conn, prevNoticeProc, ????);
     /* Oops, lost the previous "arg". */
Not exactly a huge API hole, but nevertheless...
