Oh, I see it now, it is our old friend 'oidvector'. Now I remember
modifying that when we changed from 8 to 16.
I have modified the TODO to say:
* Increase maximum number of function parameters if little wasted space
We can address this during 7.3. and decide if it is worth it. Maybe it
isn't. My calculations show a change of proc params from 16 to 32
would increase tuple length for pg_proc change from 180 to 244 or a 35%
increase.
