I've tested the patch in many different scenarios and all results look
fine -- valgrind also didn't report anything :)

The test coverage is comprehensive! For the sake of completeness I'd add
numeric tests for NaN and Infitinty with positive numeric values in the
set, e.g:

postgres=# WITH j (v) AS (VALUES
('NaN'::numeric),('Infinity'::numeric),(3.14))
SELECT product(v) FROM j;
 product
---------
     NaN
(1 row)

Other than that and the point mentioned by Dean I have nothing to add at
this point.

Thanks for the patch.

Best, Jim
