If I've understood your proposal correctly, it sounds like you want to
invent a new "print" output function for each type to output the Datum
onto a StringInfo, if that's the case, what would be the point of
having both versions? If there's anywhere we call output functions
where the resulting value isn't directly appended to a StringInfo,
then we could just use a temporary StringInfo to obtain the cstring
and its length.
