I have tried adding dummy names (a, b, c) in pg_proc entry you have added.
But that is not sufficient. We need to have default values provided to these
arguments to work row_ro_json(x, ignore_null := true) call.
It was not trivial. So I have not put much thought on that.

For name, I choose (row, pretty, ignore_nulls) or similar.

However it was my thought.
If it is too complex of not so useful then we can ignore it.

Thanks
