Extensions are of no use to me, unfortunately, unless built-in and
official. So if I have to wait for v19, so be it. But the ball has to
get rolling at least.

And extensions address only the missing aggregate "overloads". Not the
fact current md5() and pgcrypto.digest() are not TOAST-aware to be
"really streaming", and low-memory.
