Tom,

I saw something in the other thread suggesting that you might be working on
this. Is that so?

If not I have had a little poke around the cash type but I'm no where near up
to speed on the internals. Your proposal is that cstring etc. get entries like
record on pg_type? That presumably means we'd need in and out functions defined
for these, which in the case of cstring would just be copying the input to
output?

(As you can see I may not be the best person to work on this if it is to be
available for the beta)
