plpgsql bug OR future request: Assign fileds in composite subfiled. eg. table.compositefield.subfield := TRUE;

SQL:
CREATE TABLE second_type (
    flag BOOLEAN
);
CREATE TABLE main_type (
    subtype second_type
);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "bug_in_tabletypes" () RETURNS pg_catalog.void AS
$body$
DECLARE
    row_main_table main_type%rowtype;
BEGIN
    row_main_table.subtype := NULL; -- all okey;
    row_main_table.subtype.flag := FALSE; -- cannot set
END;
$body$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE CALLED ON NULL INPUT SECURITY INVOKER;

Will produce error:


ERROR:  syntax error at or near "row_main_table"
LINE 1: row_main_table.subtype.flag := FALSE
        ^
