Is it safe to use fundamental type OIDs defined in server/catalog/pg_type.h from client?

Hello folks.

I am writing a C/C++ program which uses `libpq`. I am stuck at getting result from PQresult because I want to parse text from result automatically by its type OID value. But it's unclear how I should handle type informations. 
What I need is only fundamental built-in types - boolean, int, float, text, timestamp, binary. Maybe adding some system required system - such as OID type itself. The problem is OID constant values for built-in types are not defined in client-side.

According to some mailing list entries,

It seems safe to use macros defined in `server/catalog/pg_type.h`, but I still doubt because I couldn't find any official policy on these values. 
Though I agree people on the mailing list entries, but still this is completely up to dev-team's decision. Can I ask some official policy on these values - OID values for built-in types?

If there's some publicly existing policy, please drop me some link. It's too hard to find it.
