I checked this, and there is not a crash risk: the function successfully
creates its result tuplestore, and then the main executor notices it's
not compatible with the old view. So you get
regression=# select * from pg_buffercache;
ERROR: function return row and query-specified return row do not match
DETAIL: Returned row contains 8 attributes, but query expects 7.
You can fix it by dropping and recreating the view (eg, run the module's
uninstall and then install scripts). I suppose that might be a bit
annoying if you've built additional views atop this one, but overall
it doesn't sound too bad.
So I don't plan to do anything about this module. Still working on
the others.
