What a drag.  The documentation says it supports this.  Is this a bug
in the documentation
or something I'm not understanding?

See:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/plpgsql-declarations.html#PLPGSQL-DECLARATION-ROWTYPES

  "Parameters to a function can be composite types (complete table
rows). In that case, the corresponding identifier $n will be a row
variable, and fields can be selected from it, for example $1.user_id."

Thanks for the help.
