So it does; I see that now that I've opened up the PostgreSQL docs.  I
don't find escaping data to be a problem -- I do it for all untrusted data.

So, after all, there isn't an example of a database that makes onerous the
storing of email and other such byte-oriented data, and Python's email
package has no need for workarounds in that area.
