I think explicit calls like that actually wouldn't be a problem,
since they'd be run in a per-tuple context anyway. The cases that
are problematic are hard-coded I/O function calls. I'm worried
about the ones like, say, plpgsql's built-in conversion operations.
We could probably fix printtup's usage with some confidence, but
there are a lot of other ones.
