No; I actually mean modifying the function definition macros
(PG_FUNCTION_INFO etc) to allow function definitions to (optionally)
include return type (at least for builtin types with fixed IDs) - they
already define the invocation method etc, so it does not seem a big stretch
to add a return type ID.
Not all functions would need to use these, but when a user defines a
function they could be checked. And in the case of the plpgsql handlers,
they would of course be defined.
