I gathered from the other thread that posting plain text seems to attach the patches in a way that’s more acceptable. Seems to work, but doesn’t explain exactly what the issue is, and I’m pretty sure I’ve not always had to go via the “make plain text” menu item before.

Thanks a lot for doing that. I tried it against 530609a, and indeed it seems to work.

I’m also watching the polymorphic table functions light thread[0], which at first glance would also seems to make useful SRF RECORD-returning functions when employed in the SELECT list. It’s not doing what this patch does, but people might happy enough to transform their queries into SELECT … FROM (SELECT fn(…)) to achieve pipelining, at least in the short term.
