    All issues addressed, with one tiny nit-pick -- the get_bit and
    set_bit methods are not part of the SQL standard. I took the liberty
    of removing "SQL-standard" from the documentation of these functions
    so that I can mark this "Ready for Committer".
     
    Thanks for the patch!

    Damn! I completely forgot to mention that I had no idea if what I wrote
    in the docs made any sense...
    
    Well thank you for your thorough review.

    Applied with some further editorialization.  When I looked at how
    OVERLAY(text) was implemented, I didn't like it at all, so I took the
    liberty of transforming it to C code and then duplicating that
    implementation for bit and bytea.  I doubt this would make any
    performance difference in simple cases, but it will have less surprise
    factor.
