Making TEXT NUL-transparent

Occasionally, we get bitten by embedded NUL bytes in TEXT values.  We
take care of generating proper UTF-8, but this additional restriction
sometimes slips by.  It would be really helpful if PostgreSQL could
store such TEXT fields as-is (at least if they are computed internally,
or come from query parameters).

I haven't even looked how difficult it would be to implement this.  Do
you think it's worth the trouble?
