I am tempted to replace all attempts to build text data on your own (with
VARDATA, VARHDRSZ, etc.) with proper calls to textin/textout in all places
that can't claim to be truly internal (especially all contrib). The
background is that the internal format might change sometime when more
locale features are implemented (see recent idea). Is this a good idea?
