I personally think this should be up to the specific function to
capture. This way it could be a complex result.

I like this. The equivalent table syntax for absorbing table structure
into another table is LIKE:
CREATE TABLE othertable (acol integer);
CREATE TABLE a (col integer, LIKE othertable, anothercol integer);
I could see:
CREATE TYPE a AS (a integer, b integer);
CREATE TYPE b AS (LIKE a, c integer, d integer);

This has been debated several times. Each time it has ended with
standard cron being the best solution for cron.
