For the human readable version, the request was to make it editable and
sendable to psql. As a result the BLOBs need to be in their binary format
OR psql needs to support BLOB import from stdin. As a first pass I was
hoping for the simple 'dump them into files' solution.
What I am confused by is what people actually want to do with a load of
BLOBs sitting in a directory; if there are specific needs, then I'd also
like to cater for them in the custom file formats.
