two small changes to the API since last patch, which hopefully completes
the decoupling of composite function support from SRF specific support.

scripts that I have been using, minus the C function tests and without
calls to random() -- figured random() wouldn't work too well for a
regression test ;-)

opt_with and from_in.

GROUP.  Make WITH optional in CREATE DATABASE for consistency.

files rather than a header file where they belong.  Pay some modicum
of attention to picking global routine names that aren't likely to
conflict with surrounding applications.

Second cut attached. This one just adds a boolean option to the existing
function to indicate that implicit schemas are to be included (or not).
I remembered the docs as well this time :-)

I am no longer pursuing a total non-blocking implementation.  I haven't
found a good way to test it with the type of work that I do with
PostgreSQL.  I do use blocking SSL sockets with this mod and have had no
problem whatsoever.  The bug that I fixed in this patch is exceptionally
hard to reproduce reliably.

HeapTupleHeaderData in setter and getter macros called
HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin, HeapTupleHeaderSetXmin etc.

It also introduces a "virtual" field xvac by defining
HeapTupleHeaderGetXvac and HeapTupleHeaderSetXvac.  Xvac is used by
VACUUM, in fact it is stored in t_cmin.

but occasionally I may need to shut down the server and restart it
w/o tcpip sockets. Postmaster has the -i option to turn on tcpip
connections, but it wasn't immediately clear how to easily or
temporarily turn it off (when it's been enabled in postgresql.conf).

In fact, it wasn't clear to me until digging in to postmaster.c that
I could pass '-c tcpip_socket=false' or '--tcpip_socket=false'.
(And then of course when I looked more closely at the man page I
realized I'd missed the proper part of the documentation.) What I'd
been looking for is a flag that would have the opposite effect of
'-i', and it's conceivable that others will be looking for specific
flags to do the opposite of '-F' and '-S'.

I was preparing to add options to postmaster until I realized that
maybe the solution is just to add some documentation.

If you'd rather have 1 character options to accomplish this, I'd be
happy to do that-- adding those 9 lines of code is definitely within
my ability. :)  (Although, the "right" letter to be the opposite of -S
isn't clear to me, since -s is already taken.)
