VARSIZE - why omit VARLEN?
Any objections adding the below to postgres.h?
#define VARLEN(PTR) (VARSIZE(PTR) - VARHDRSZ)
It adds a little more abstraction and cleans up userland code.

For the most part, you should probably be using VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR
anyplace that that might be a good idea.

Thanks, that will do it. I didn't know that macro existed. I missed its
addition in 8.3. sorry.
