As stated upthread, this has already been done in a very robust
fashion, aka libpqtypes (for example, review
http://libpqtypes.esilo.com/man3/PQexecf.html and put it in context of
the OP's request).  libpq was specifically amended to support
libpqtypes as a compromise solution after it was determined that it
was too complex and controversial to merit review for inclusion into
the core project.  IMNSHO, if there is a TODO, it should probably be
to consider libpqtypes for contrib (which we don't have time for atm).
