[no subject]

There was a proposal made some time ago to allow for a variable-length
length word format, where one of the bits in each word would specify
that there was an additional length word. That would theoretically allow
for an unlimited size on verlena columns. I don't remember what the
outcome of that discussion was, though. You should be able to find it in
the archives with enough digging.
