BTW, my Salesforce colleagues have been bit^H^H^Hgriping for quite some
time about the performance costs associated with translating between
plpgsql's internal PLpgSQL_datum-array format and the ParamListInfo
representation. Maybe it's time to think about some wholesale redesign of
ParamListInfo? Because TBH this patch doesn't seem like much but a kluge.
It's mostly layering still-another bunch of ad-hoc restrictions on
copyParamList, without removing any one of the kluges we had already.
