Okay, so looking at the serialization output functions already defined, I
see many zeros, which I assume means just the base data type, and eight
more:

	SELECT DISTINCT aggserialfn from pg_aggregate WHERE aggserialfn::oid != 0;
	        aggserialfn
	---------------------------
	 numeric_avg_serialize
	 string_agg_serialize
	 array_agg_array_serialize
	 numeric_serialize
	 int8_avg_serialize
	 array_agg_serialize
	 interval_avg_serialize
	 numeric_poly_serialize

I realize we need to return the sum and count for average, so that makes
sense.

So, we need import/export text representation for the partial aggregate
mode for these eight, and call the base data type text import/export
functions for the zero ones when in this mode?

  Only you can decide what is important to you.
