Thanks, this was useful.

I made a couple extra cleanups to the patch, namely: do not call
CreateTemplateTupleDesc() just to discard the resulting tupdesc with a
subsequent get_call_result_type(); and do not write a \0 to the
BIO_s_mem, and instead use BIO_get_mem_data's return value as length
when converting str to text *.

And pushed.

FWIW I now think I made a mistake with the error checks that I
backpatched, because the wording of the error messages I used "failed to
foo" is frowned upon by our message style guidelines. Should be "could
not do foo" instead.

Thanks,
