RE: Performance on inserts

Could you add to the TODO:
support of binary data (eg varbinary type)

I think the above is not trivial, as I think the parser choques on \00 bytes
at several levels...

I had a check on the TODO and it seems that TOAST is not planned anymore for
7.1. Is it true?

Added to TODO:
