Sorry, my day job is currently taking up all my spare cycles :( So I
don't think I'll get a chance to wrap this up for 8.3.
My recollection is that the patch was okay as far as it went, but I'm
hesitant to add yet another alternative to the already complex set of
choices for returning composite types and sets from functions. If we
just make TABLE() syntax sugar for the existing OUT function stuff we
would avoid at least some of that complexity, but Pavel still prefers a
distinct proargmode, last I heard.
