Right. That was just my latest try. I did notice that CStringGetDatum was
just defined as PointerGetDatum. I tried to find something specific for
text but nothing seemed to fit the bill. I saw DatumGetTextP but that
detoasts a toasted object. There were the various PG_RETURNxxx macros
but this is a user created strting, not an argument.
Do I have to manually create a varlena? I'll try that next.
