A couple more questions:

What's the reason for this restriction?
        if (databaseId != MyDatabaseId)
                ereport(ERROR,
                        (errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE),
                         errmsg("cannot import snapshot from a different 
database")));

Why are we using bytea as the output format instead of text?  The output
is just plain text anyway, as can be seen by setting bytea_output to
'escape'.  Perhaps there would be a value to using bytea if we were to
pglz_compress the result, but would there be a point in doing so?
Normally exported info should be short enough that it would cause more
overhead than it would save anyway.
