We cannot use TOAST as is for BLOB/CLOB storage with a binary IO interface over fastpath.
The reason is that you cannot force a column to be moved off anyway and that the toast reference contains the
original objects size. Thus, opening a BLOB for writing would require the reference in the main tuple to get
updatedand maybe moving off the data first.
My plans for 7.2 are to use the toast table for storage, but to build new data types with support hooks in the
toasterfor it.
