Frankly, I'd remove the whole fastpath function thing if I had my
druthers, but I don't want to reimplement libpq's large-object routines.
I'm just planning to leave it as supporting a scalar return value.
I should mark it deprecated in the docs, probably. You can get the same
results more cleanly by doing a SELECT --- and if the overhead is what's
bothering you, there's PREPARE.
