Description

Hi,

We have a use case in which we would like to protect arbitrary text values writen by our endusers from being registred into the database from reserved characters (notably "new line" \n).
However it seems that feature transform.value.to is forcefully unactivated in the library while transform.value.from can be used.
Unfortunately since user can edit previously registred value we need both transformers to be set in order to maintain consistency.

Could transform.value.to be available in the same way transform.value.from is ?
Thanks.

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation and tests for transform.value.to and transform.value.from in the Postgres.js codebase. Check how outgoing values are transformed before database writes, then verify that enabling transform.value.to preserves the existing from behavior and handles edited user values consistently.
