Description

Epgsql supports native binary data encoding/decoding. There is a document on how to implement one:
https://github.com/epgsql/epgsql/blob/devel/doc/pluggable_types.md

The way you document in your README is quite unnatural for epgsql because you use equery (which assumes native format), but then send/receive the payload in text format

Research direction

Start with doc/pluggable_types.md in epgsql and inspect the README's equery example and its payload format. Determine the scope of the native plugin and documentation changes; done means the example consistently uses native binary encoding and decoding.
