Methods defined on T are also available on *T. Thought this technically
changes the interface, because *T will be automatically dereferenced as
needed it shouldn't be a breaking change.
See a8802b16cc for similar change.
typed_array.go.erb was not updated back in
a8802b16cc when Value, EncodeBinary,
EncodeText, and MarshalJSON were changed to be defined on T instead of
*T. This has been corrected.
Methods defined on T are also available on *T. This change makes Value
consistent with database/sql Value implementations. It also makes Value,
EncodeBinary, and EncodeText more convenient to use because you can
pass T or *T as an argument to a query.
The MarshalJSON change is even more significant because without it
json.Marshal would generate the "%v" format instead of the implemented
MarshalJSON.
Thought this technically changes the interface, because *T will be
automatically dereferenced as needed it shouldn't be a breaking change.
