It's not. If we really want to tackle this root and branch without
upsetting legacy code, I think we'd need to have a way of marking
data items as binary in the grammar, e.g.
create function myfunc(myarg binary bytea) returns binary bytea
language plperl as $$ ...$$;
This ought to be a property of data type plus language, not a property
of a function.
Why should it?
And how would you do it in such a way that it didn't break legacy code?
My GUC proposal would have made it language+type specific, but Tom
didn't like that approach.
