What exactly would be the value of that? There is work afoot, or at least on people's to-do lists, to mechanize creation of the outfuncs/readfuncs/etc code directly from the Node struct declarations. So special cases for particular fields are going to be looked on with great disfavor, even if you can make a case that there's some reason to do it. (Which I'm not seeing. We've certainly never had to do it in the past.) regards, tom lane
