More generally, the PL functions need to be able to deal with
recomputing saved plans after an ALTER of a table referenced by the
function. I haven't really thought about how to do that ... but it
seems like Stephan's idea of a table showing referencers and referencees
might help detect the cases where plans have to be flushed.
