But I forgot to say what I think we should do.  :-)

I think we should just leave it to the user, and I think the interface
that makes the most sense is something like

"insert into ... (?)" (... (propertize binary-data 'coding-system 'binary))

and then signal an error if binary-data isn't unibyte when the string
has this property.  And then, conversely, don't decode BLOB columns on
selects.  I think that'll be the most interoperable and convenient we'll
be able to get.

(And, of course, document this mess.)
