A good idea could be to do the marshalling / unmarshalling of Blob as CStringLen. It can then be used to construct PackedStrings and ByteStrings in O(1), or doing some custom computations with it. A CStringLen, even if contains Ptr CChar, can easily be converted to any pointer type. Another idea could be using custom bind function for blobs, but the first solution is surely easier.
