Type RECORD would be a better choice --- ANYELEMENT allows scalar types
which is not what you want here.  (You could probably still do it with
a function declared that way, but it'd have to take extra steps to
defend itself against being passed, say, an integer.)

If you're looking for a coding model, stripping down record_out() to
just count nulls should get you there.
