No, because we already index subnet tests against constants. (It's pretty
much like the situation for "column LIKE anchored-pattern" --- we

Yes, you can make that happen in the V3 protocol: you can select either
text or binary output format for each column. Declaring a cursor BINARY
is in fact irrelevant in V3 protocol.
