Right.  That was just my latest try.  I did notice that CStringGetDatum was
just defined as PointerGetDatum.  I tried to find something specific for
text but nothing seemed to fit the bill.  I saw DatumGetTextP but that
detoasts a toasted object.  There were the various PG_RETURNxxx macros
but this is a user created strting, not an argument.

Do I have to manually create a varlena?  I'll try that next.
