I was thinking about this and I had a new idea for a solution. What if I
added code that tried to read a new, optional, attribute of the format
`sql.args.N.format`. For the moment it would be just for binary data, with
values like 'hex' or 'ascii' (something like that). But it could be expanded
down the road to also support things like a more flexible version of my
Timestamp PR so users could optionally provide their own Timestamp format.
