Awesome. Thanks!

Nice additions -- the feature gap is obvious, IMHO.

Are you planning to work on it? I'm drowning in work right now and can
only jump on it next week.

I'm not so sure about this one. At this point, isn't "query" already \0
terminated? I'm also wondering if it could affect pg_mbcliplen() down
the road, since strnlen() can return a different value
(log_statement_max_length + MAX_MULTIBYTE_CHAR_LEN) on large queries --
not tested yet.

Thanks!

Best, Jim
