Hi Andrew,
I forgot to show the final version of pg_bvarchar.
/* SQL function: bvarchar(varchar) returns bytea */
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(pg_bvarchar);
Datum pg_bvarchar(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS) {
VarChar *arg = PG_GETARG_VARCHAR_PP(0);
unsigned len;
bytea *res;
len = VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR(arg);
res = (text *) palloc(len);
SET_VARSIZE(res, len + VARHDRSZ);
memcpy(VARDATA(res), VARDATA_ANY(arg), len);
PG_RETURN_BYTEA_P(res);
}

Hi Andrew,
You are absolutely right and "select ", OID from ispp_wmpl where (bvarchar (key))> = (bvarchar ('W' :: varchar)) and (bvarchar (key)) <= (bvarchar ~~~~~~~~ ':: varchar)) order by key" has passed!
However, pg log file now has hundreds of warning message:
2019-03-09 10:53:29 CET ispp-pionir-test :: 1 (53858) 14721 0 01000 WARNING: problem in allocation set ExprContext: detected write past chunk end block 0x55ccb0b36468, chunk 0x55ccb0b36490

Andrew, I have to thank you for this help because without this, my 'select' would never have passed.

Your message formatting was all messed up, but I can see that you are
still subtracting VARHDRSZ - don't do that: VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR already
has the header size subtracted (hence "EXHDR"), it returns only the data
size. (The header size is variable, 1 or 4 bytes, so it wouldn't make
sense to include it.)
