Apparently if you are using C and libpq, you can use the version 3
protocol functions to send binary data without having to escape it.  I
haven't done it though so I may be wrong, but if I'm right please
somebody tell me because I usually recommend this :-)

Also if it works it would be useful to update the Perl/PHP/etc
interfaces to use it.
