So this patch would result in less C code while still adding 3 new functions. Can anyone think of why that wouldn't be the best way to go?
Let's pursue the "CAST(srf() AS row_rtype)" syntax that Joe suggested upthread (http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/559A9643.9070409@joeconway.com). For some reason, the discussion went on around the details of the submitted patch after that, even though everyone seemed to prefer the CAST() syntax.

I'm all for adding that syntax, but it wouldn't be useful for my purposes unless row_rtype could be a variable, and my understanding is that it can't.
