Hmm. The problem with this is that the DROP TABLE invalidates test's
rowtype, so on a second call the already-compiled "ROW(NULL)::test"
expression refers to a type that no longer exists.

re previous complaints:

I've run across this in the past but just chalked it up to a
"guess Postgres doesn't like it done that way". I suspect there may
be others in the same boat?
