Right.

I don't think this is a very big deal. The only place this looks
important is for an overloaded function call. The previous driver didn't
have any typing at all for NULLs, and I can only recall one complaint
about. The other API additions you suggested didn't really appeal to me
and we have an "out" with PGobject, so I think we're OK here.
