 This is a topic that Hugo Mercier brought up to PostgreSQL Hackers and is
 being widely discussed now and something Oslandia has been prototyping
 ideas of.

 It involves the loss of power we suffer when deserializing/serializing and
 affects all of us, particularly for writing sql/plpgsql functions where
 nesting is very common.


 Thanks - Hugo for bringing the issue to the forefront.  I'm hoping
 something comes of this and we can leverage changes upstream in PostGIS
 and PostGIS family of projects
