Re: Rust bindings to pgtypes lib

I agree with Michael Meskes that duplicating the code is probably not a good
idea. Now I see other rust crates just depend on the right libraries to be
installed by the developer, so I'll punt the problem until it bites me for
real.

This confuses me, though

Is this a widespread opinion? If so, perhaps it would be an idea to mention
that somewhere in the docs. Just reading them, it would seem to be a nice
interface to a library that can do datetime and arbitrary numeric calculation
for you. Both areas are very hard to get right.

No problem on my part. The target of my small project was to learn some rust
by throing myself at it. And I learned more than expected, so the outcome is
already fine. If the resulting project also could be of use to me and anybody
else, it would just be an extra win.
