Fwiw the client library I heard of attempting to have good binary mode support was the Crystal language client https://github.com/will/crystal-pg. I think he was aiming for full coverage of the built-in data types. That might make a good reference implementation to write up documentation from. He probably uncovered some corner cases in development that one might not find from just inspection of the server code. -- greg
