Description
It would be great to be able to do:
{
using client = postgres(...);
// ... queries
}
and have client.end() be called automatically in [Symbol.dispose]. It's part of typescript (since 5.2) now and Stage 3 for TC39.

Research direction
Start by tracing the client returned by postgres(...) and the existing client.end() lifecycle. Check how TypeScript 5.2 using syntax and [Symbol.dispose] are represented, then verify that block exit invokes disposal and closes the client without breaking existing usage.
