It depends, I had to use `TopTransactionContect' in a similar case.

If you really want to return a pointer, I would recommend to
introduce a new type `pointer', where the input and output functions
simply call `elog(ERROR,..)'. This way you can avoid to forget that
your pointer cannot be externalized.
