I took a quick look at the patch and the docs.  Looks good and agree
with rationale and implementation.   I see you covered the pqsetvalue
case which is nice.  I expect libpq C api clients coded for
performance will immediately gravitate to this api.

This is a minor point of concern.  This function was exposed to
support libpqtypes (which your stuff compliments very nicely by the
way) and I quickly confirmed removal of the null terminator didn't
cause any problems there.  I doubt anyone else is inspecting the
structure directly (also searched the archives and didn't find
anything).

This needs to be advertised very loudly in the docs -- I understand
why this was done but it's a pretty big change in the way the api
works.
