Interesting, +1 for the idea.

Hrm... Maybe a separate function is better. I dont think that will
translate to other languages very well. For instance pl/perl, you
would end up doing something like spi_exec_query("select 1;",
undefined, {return_list=>1}); ick. Yes we could make spi_exec_query()
say oh the 2nd arg is a hash? well then its the options. Seems
fragile, and i dunno about other pls.
FYI, I did look at pl/perl and pl/tcl and they seem to be able to only
return "dictionaries" as well.
