Well, in my particular case it isn't so much that I *want*
to access bytea in chunks but rather that under certain
not-yet-pinned-down circumstances windows clients tend to go
out-or-memory on the socket during *retrieval* (insertion is
fine, as is put/get access from Linux clients). Doing
chunked retrieval works on those boxen, too, so it's an
option in our application (the user defines a chunk size
that works, a size of 0 is treated as no-chunking).
