Thanks. I made these noteworthy changes:
1. Fix lo_get(oid) on a LO larger than INT_MAX bytes: raise an error rather than performing a modulo operation on the size.
2. Remove the undocumented ability to pass a negative length to request all bytes up to the end of the LO. substr() also rejects negative lengths. Note that one can get the same effect by passing any length >MaxAllocSize.
3. Documentation reshuffling. I placed all the documentation for these functions in the large objects chapter, and I emphasized the new functions over the prospect of calling the older functions (whose primary role is to support client interfaces) from SQL.
