Ah, I get it now. That's really interesting, then! Might speed up a few queries for jOOQ users, if we switched to the `SQLData` API, when fetching heavily nested UDTs. For dynamic types (`ROW()`, `MULTISET()`), jOOQ defaults to `JSONB` serialisation, so I wouldn't expect massive performance gains, but for UDTs, definitely.

I'll try to work with your branch, later this week. If your branch gets merged, we can have an experimental, opt-in implementation in jOOQ that users could activate with a switch. I'd expect that this could greatly help increase test coverage for you as well.

Just so I understand, `BINARY_TRANSFER_ENABLE` is only affecting binary transfer (i.e. pgjdbc looking up type structures). Even if this flag isn't set, `SQLData` can be used for all types, with more overhead?
