I added this patch to the next CF (2016-09) under "Miscellaneous".

Thanks!
 
Out of curiosity, what is the motivation?

I'm the owner of Npgsql, the open-source .NET driver for PostgreSQL, which is a binary-first driver. That is, working with types that have no binary I/O is possible but awkward.

I hope the general direction is (or will be) to have binary I/O for all supported types, both for compatibility with binary-first consumers such as Npgsql and for general efficiency.
