>   Grammar has been extended to match new syntax.

> 2. It's possible to copy type from function argument of
>   composite type[1].

> 3. Enabling copying types from wider range of objects,
>   data type resolution takes into account more cases.
>   For example it wasn't possible to declare variable
>   of row type, and then copy type from field of such
>   variable (something like: declare x table%ROWTYPE;
>   y x.field%TYPE).

> Patch includes new test cases and few words in documentation.
