Using Serialization into a large object has been supported since V6.3

I actually posted a patch last week (June 14) that had a preliminary
version of an extension that allows one or more tables within a PostgreSQL
table to represent the contents of a Java object. It has a few bugs in it,
but should be working before V6.4 is out.

I haven't had chance to work on it more since then, as I've been catching
up on two other projects.
