Nice improvement. The use of (len = ...) in a conditional is slightly
out of the ordinary, but it makes the conditionals a bit simpler and
you have a comment, so it's fine with me.
I wonder, if there were an efficient cast from numeric to text, then
perhaps you could avoid the strlen() entirely? Maybe there's a way to
use a static buffer to even avoid the palloc() in get_str_from_var()?
Not sure these are worth the effort; just brainstorming.
In any case, +1 to your simple change.
