OK. Those functions are in the docs. I didn't relate those functions
and this todo item together.
By 'in/out interface for TOAST columns' I thought this item dealt with
adding large object like functions to read/write/append to TOAST column
data. I know that has been talked about in the past on hackers. But I
don't see it on the todo list. Has that been done?
