It addresses a problem I've mentioned some time ago.
Functions returning sets or complex types have targetlists,
but these aren't handled correctly in the executor.
Me and Thomas G. Lockhard where discussing another rangetable
entry type lately, which is in fact a subselect. That might
cover this problem more completely in the future.
So pls let it out of the REL6_4 tree for now.
