I'm missing stuff like true polymorphic function arguments and return
values (where I can mix different datatypes and do variable number of
parameters), also I personally hate 'select * from my_func() as table(x
varchar)' syntax... system should be able to omit the table structure
definition and pick it up from function return.

Oh well, back to work.

Where do we submit wishlist entries, anyway?
