few palloc's.  I also chose to eliminate the restype and restypmod fields
entirely, since they are redundant with information stored in the node's
contained expression; re-examining the expression at need seems simpler
and more reliable than trying to keep restype/restypmod up to date.

last time, just make sure things aren't violating the HTML standard. No

it. Alvaro Herrera.

OPENed on non-SELECT commands such as EXPLAIN or SHOW (anything that
returns tuples is allowed).  This flexibility already existed for
bound cursors, but OPEN was artificially restricting what it would
take.  Per a gripe some months back.

performance hack Tom introduced recently. This means we can avoid
copying the transition array for each input tuple if these functions
are invoked as aggregate transition functions.

To test the performance improvement, I created a 1 million row table
with a single int4 column. Without the patch, SELECT avg(col) FROM
table took about 4.2 seconds (after the data was cached); with the
patch, it took about 3.2 seconds. Naturally, the performance
improvement for a less trivial query (or a table with wider rows)
would be relatively smaller.

not the brand of vodka. Complete FETCH <sth> <sth> with FROM and IN, not
FROM and TO (which is still pretty incomplete, but at least its the right
syntax).

old comment in the code claimed that this was necessary. Since it is not
actually necessary any more, it is clearer to remove the comment and
just return NULL instead -- the return value of ExecHash() is not used.

proposal for OUT parameter support.  The columns don't actually *do*
anything yet, they are just left NULLs.  But I thought I'd commit this
part separately as a fairly pure example of the tasks needed when adding
a column to pg_proc or one of the other core system tables.

implement any new feature, it just pushes the 'not implemented' error
message deeper into the backend.  I also tweaked the grammar to accept
Oracle-ish parameter syntax (parameter name first), as well as the
SQL99 standard syntax (parameter mode first), since it was easy and
people will doubtless try to use both anyway.

former to 100 by default.  Clean up some of the less necessary
dependencies on FUNC_MAX_ARGS; however, the biggie (FunctionCallInfoData)
remains.

change saves a great deal of space in pg_proc and its primary index,
and it eliminates the former requirement that INDEX_MAX_KEYS and
FUNC_MAX_ARGS have the same value.  INDEX_MAX_KEYS is still embedded
in the on-disk representation (because it affects index tuple header
size), but FUNC_MAX_ARGS is not.  I believe it would now be possible
to increase FUNC_MAX_ARGS at little cost, but haven't experimented yet.
There are still a lot of vestigial references to FUNC_MAX_ARGS, which
I will clean up in a separate pass.  However, getting rid of it
altogether would require changing the FunctionCallInfoData struct,
and I'm not sure I want to buy into that.

transaction rollback via UNDO but I think that's highly unlikely to
happen, so we may as well remove the stubs.  (Someday we ought to
rip out the stub xxx_undo routines, too.)  Per Alvaro.

really ought to run before canonicalize_qual, because it can now produce
forms that canonicalize_qual knows how to improve (eg, NOT clauses).
Also, because eval_const_expressions already knows about flattening
nested ANDs and ORs into N-argument form, the initial flatten_andors
pass in canonicalize_qual is now completely redundant and can be
removed.  This doesn't save a whole lot of code, but the time and
palloc traffic eliminated is a useful gain on large expression trees.
