Customary inspection & testing of the Gnu.Db.Postgresql shows a memory 
leak in the Database type. Some internal protected type isn't being freed.

I understand that normally database connections are declared once and 
reused, but there may be cases where this is not desired. Furthermore, 
if you don't want to keep the connection alive, the package doesn't 
provide close/reconnect procedures, so you'd be forced to use local 
scopes and then you'd run inexorably in this leak.

I CC to the maintainer.
