I'm thinking of doing a tutorial -- something like "Extending PostgreSQL
with C" -- show/explain (comments/additions welcome):
- contrib build system basics
- building a simple scalar function
- I/O functions and a building custom datatype
- simple polymorphic scalar functions
- SRF using the one-row-at-a-time api
- SRF using a tuplestore

I think it would be nice if we had a tutorial or session on advanced use
of each PL -- at least for the most commonly used ones.
