Fwiw the client library I heard of attempting to have good binary mode
support was the Crystal language client
https://github.com/will/crystal-pg. I think he was aiming for full
coverage of the built-in data types. That might make a good reference
implementation to write up documentation from. He probably uncovered
some corner cases in development that one might not find from just
inspection of the server code.
