I'm not sure if we want to encode the peculiarities of particular data
types into the client libraries. I could agree with adding a function
that supplies a general-purpose encoding such as base64 (not necessarily
preferred) which clients can use to feed data to the server. In the
future we might want to support the SQL-standard input formats for binary
data types, which would require yet another round of functions to be added
to libpq.
After all, bytea is utterly non-standard, and if we make API extensions we
should consider them in the long run.
