Yea, I was thinking we should move all three (default, csv, binary) supported formats to using such a facility. I guess we'd just install the respective format handlers by default in the respective catalogs, rather than doing so in an extension. The handler function should easily be able to return pointers to functions in the main binary, not just additional shlibs.
