As indeed the text says. What the continuation mention is talking
about is this syntax:
regression=# select b'10001'
'00100';
?column?
------------
1000100100
(1 row)
which works like
regression=# select 'foo'
'bar';
?column?
----------
foobar
(1 row)
Perhaps there's something we could change to make this clearer,
but I'm not sure what.
