PostgreSQL needs all the data in a single buffer. If you want to
work with multiple variable-length fields, then you could define a
structure that's easy for your code to work with and serialize it
before returning it to PostgreSQL, or one that uses pointers that
point to the correct places in the buffer. Your alignres_out()
function will need to reverse that effect so it can work with the
data that PostgreSQL passes it.
