I remember this one because I needed them for checksuming set of rows.
There is a whole set of missing (from my point of view) operators, casts
and aggregates.
See https://github.com/zx80/pg_comparator where I packaged the subset I
needed as an extension. In particular, there is a bitxor which can be used
for bytea if casting is allowed.

I think that the probability of getting these useful things into pg is
alas small. In the mean time, you may package and register it as an
extension?
