I need to brush up on my unicode foo, but let's keep the discussion

I'd love to see this solved in a way that limits or removes the need
for things like setting specific utf8 flags via the database handle.
For me, I'd love to be able to tell it extra datatypes to convert to
utf8. The basic four are great, but since there are a lot of contrib
and pgFoundry modules that have custom data types, some of which
support multibyte text, I think it's worthwhile to be able to tell it
the types (or extra types) on a per-connection basis.
But also ask in dbi-dev; I believe that Tim Bunce has some ideas about
this stuff, as well.
Best,
