Bearing on the implementation, you really can't make the API work unless
you handle long text. The contract is very much designed to assume very
long data length. The C++ version makes this explicit, but Marvin and
others suggested I pull that and leave it to implementations to optimize
record storage, which is fine, but it doesn't mean that storing the data
in varchar() exclusively will work; there's not much chance of that. Maybe
varchar(8192) or so, I don't know exactly what the upper bound is these
days on varchars in real databases.
