// Name is a type used for PostgreSQL's special 63-byte
// name data type, used for identifiers like table names.
// The pg_class.relname column is a good example of where the
// name data type is used.
//
// Note that the underlying Go data type of pgx.Name is string,
// so there is no way to enforce the 63-byte length. Inputting
// a longer name into PostgreSQL will result in silent truncation
// to 63 bytes.
//
// Also, if you have custom-compiled PostgreSQL and set
// NAMEDATALEN to a different value, obviously that number of
// bytes applies, rather than the default 63.
