I think it might be a good idea if these patches made less use of
bytea and exposed the numeric transition values as, say, a 2-element
array of numeric. Maybe this doesn't really matter, but it's not
impossible that these values could be exposed somewhere, and a numeric
is an awful lot more user-friendly than an essentially opaque bytea.
One of the things I eventually want to figure out how to do with this
is distributed aggregation across multiple shards, and I think it
might be better to have the value being sent over the wire be
something like {26.6,435.12} rather than \x1234...
Thoughts?
