Hello all,

I'm writing some extension and I have a hot code path that has a lot of double (C type) data and needs to output
NUMERICtuple data.  The current methods I can find in the code to convert sprintf the double to a buffer and then
invokethe numeric_in function on them.  I've profile my stuff and I'm spending (wasting) all my time in that
conversion. Is there a more efficient method of converting a double into a postgres numeric value? 

Best regards,

Theo
