Shouldn't you be looping over these results in order to return them,
something like
FOR rec2 in select * from foo(rec.uid) LOOP
return next rec2;
END LOOP;
Otherwise, why should the results from the other call become results from
your call (what if you want to process them and not return all of them, or
what if it's a function with a different type?)
