+1, but I wonder where we should put those exactly. My first thought was postgres_ext.h, but the charter for that is * This file contains declarations of things that are visible everywhere * in PostgreSQL *and* are visible to clients of frontend interface libraries. * For example, the Oid type is part of the API of libpq and other libraries. so picayune details of the wire protocol probably don't belong there. Maybe we need a new header concerned with the wire protocol? regards, tom lane
