+Invoke B<psql> on B<$dbname> and return an IPC::Run harness object,
+which the caller may use to send interactive input to B<psql>.
+The process's stdin is sourced from the $stdin scalar reference,
+and its stdout and stderr go to the $stdout scalar reference.
+ptys are used so that psql thinks it's being called interactively.
+
+The specified timer object is attached to the harness, as well.
+It's caller's responsibility to select the timeout length, and to
+restart the timer after each command if the timeout is per-command.
+
+psql is invoked in tuples-only unaligned mode with reading of B<.psqlrc>
+disabled. That may be overridden by passing extra psql parameters.
+
+Dies on failure to invoke psql, or if psql fails to connect.
+Errors occurring later are the caller's problem.
+
+Be sure to "finish" the harness when done with it.
+
+The only extra parameter currently accepted is
+
+=over
+
+=item extra_params => ['--single-transaction']
+
+If given, it must be an array reference containing additional parameters to B<psql>.
