Yeah, I was just thinking about that this morning.  We probably ought to
look for dependencies on the table rowtype as well as the individual
column.

But on the other side of the coin, should we actually reject the ALTER
if we see a function that uses the rowtype as a parameter or result
type?  Without looking inside the function, we can't really tell if the
ALTER will break the function or not.
