My opinion is not strong. I don't think so using string_agg is good
name (- as minimal (and only one) reason is different API - there is
no support for delimiter. If I remember well discussion about
string_agg, where delimiter is not optimal, there is request for
immutable interface for aggregates - there was a issue with ORDER
clause. So bytea_agg is good name.
