Sounds like we have to refactor that code a bit. Or maybe it should
just be a separate code path. The current plpgsql compiler is also
pretty intertwined with stuffing all the information about the function
into a persistent memory context, which is something we most definitely
*don't* want for an anonymous code block. So it's going to take a bit
of work there. I think pulling the heap tuple apart might be the least
of your worries.
