It would be nice to be able to declare something like this for a function
returning an unnested array:

RETURNS TABLE(some_value mytable.myarray_column%ELEMENT_TYPE, ...)

it has sense, but it is dangerous with current implementation. There are no persistent relation between table and type used in signature.

So better use raw types or polymorphic types there only.

Does it make sense?
