we want it to check the argument/result data types and no more.  In
particular, libperl shouldn't get initialized in this case.

get_func_arg_info() for consistency with other names there.
This code will probably be useful to other PLs when they start to
support OUT parameters, so better to have it in the main backend.
Also, fix plpgsql validator to detect bogus OUT parameters even when
check_function_bodies is off.

lacking it.  Perhaps it was suppressed because of line length
considerations, but "table" should appear.

single column dump that has a \. value, so the load works properly.  I
also added documentation describing this issue.

< * %Make row-wise comparisons work per SQL spec

(previously we only did = and <> correctly).  Also, allow row comparisons
with any operators that are in btree opclasses, not only those with these
specific names.  This gets rid of a whole lot of indefensible assumptions
about the behavior of particular operators based on their names ... though
it's still true that IN and NOT IN expand to "= ANY".  The patch adds a
RowCompareExpr expression node type, and makes some changes in the
representation of ANY/ALL/ROWCOMPARE SubLinks so that they can share code
with RowCompareExpr.

I have not yet done anything about making RowCompareExpr an indexable
operator, but will look at that soon.

initdb forced due to changes in stored rules.

Increase amount of shared buffers initdb tries to allocate to 4000,
and add logic to try max_fsm_pages up to 200000, plus accompanying minor
docs changes.

                if (c == '\\' && cstate->line_buf.len == 0)

The problem with that is the because of the input and _output_
buffering, cstate->line_buf.len could be zero even if we are not on the
first character of a line.  In fact, for a typical line, it is zero for
all characters on the line.  The proper solution is to introduce a
boolean, first_char_in_line, that we set as we enter the loop and clear
once we process a character.

I have restructured the line-reading code in copy.c by:

        o  merging the CSV/non-CSV functions into a single function
        o  used macros to centralize and clarify the buffering code
        o  updated comments
        o  renamed client_encoding_only to encoding_embeds_ascii
        o  added a high-bit test to the encoding_embeds_ascii test for
           performance
        o  in CSV mode, allow a backslash followed by a non-period to
           continue being processed as a data value

There should be no performance impact from this patch because it is
functionally equivalent.  If you apply the patch you will see copy.c is
much clearer in this area now and might suggest additional
optimizations.

I have also attached a 8.1-only patch to fix the CSV \. handling bug
with no code restructuring.

* %Make row-wise comparisons work per SQL spec

  Right now, '(a, b) < (1, 2)' is processed as 'a < 1 and b < 2', but
  the SQL standard requires it to be processed as a column-by-column
  comparison, so the proper comparison is '(a < 1) OR (a = 1 AND b < 2)'.

- use "bool" rather than "int" for boolean variables

- use "PLy_malloc" rather than "malloc" in two places

- define "PLy_strdup", and use it rather than malloc() + strcpy() in
  two places (which should have been memcpy(), anyway).

- remove a bunch of redundant parentheses from expressions that do not
  need the parentheses for code clarity

        #define HIGHBIT                 (0x80)
        #define IS_HIGHBIT_SET(ch)      ((unsigned char)(ch) & HIGHBIT)

and removed CSIGNBIT and mapped it uses to HIGHBIT.  I have also added
uses for IS_HIGHBIT_SET where appropriate.  This change is
purely for code clarity.

differ by more than the last directory component.  Instead of insisting
that they match up to the last component, accept whatever common prefix
they have, and try to replace the non-matching part of bin_path with
the non-matching part of target_path in the actual executable's path.
In one way this is tighter than the old code, because it insists on
a match to the part of bin_path we want to substitute for, rather than
blindly stripping one directory component from the executable's path.
Per gripe from Martin Pitt and subsequent discussion.

equal: if strcoll claims two strings are equal, check it with strcmp, and
sort according to strcmp if not identical.  This fixes inconsistent
behavior under glibc's hu_HU locale, and probably under some other locales
as well.  Also, take advantage of the now-well-defined behavior to speed up
texteq, textne, bpchareq, bpcharne: they may as well just do a bitwise
comparison and not bother with strcoll at all.

NOTE: affected databases may need to REINDEX indexes on text columns to be
sure they are self-consistent.
