Say what? I cannot imagine a scenario in which a user-defined encoding
would be useful. The amount of infrastructure you need for a new
encoding is so large that providing management commands is just silly
--- anyone who can create the infrastructure can do the last little bit
for themselves. The analogy to index access methods is on point, again.
