Re: 8.1 and syntax checking at create time

here is a case that does not work:

CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION public.test_func9(out firstname varchar,out 
lastname varchar)
RETURNS SETOF pg_catalog.record AS
$BODY$
Declare
row record56;
BEGIN   for $0 in select '',description from common.common_groups   loop      -- firstname = row.description;      --
lastname= '';   RETURN NEXT;   end loop;
 
END;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

notice the for in select, it's for sure wrong, but it raises no errors 
until I execute the function
also note the declaration for row, there is no record56 type, but it 
raises no errors at create.

here is my version string:

PostgreSQL 8.1beta1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo Linux 
3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1)
