Why trashing the system with NOTIFYs no one listens to? Of course, like Tom Lane suggested, I could create a table similar to now obsolete pg_listener and manage it from the client that LISTENs and gets notifications. Also, what sense pg_listening_channels() function makes, if it returns channels that I created (in my current session/connection)? I don't need this function to know whether I issued LISTEN my_channel or not.
