fyi: works in 8.4, as part of a broad fix of composite type

whoops, you knew that already :-). one possible workaround is:
select $1::text is distinct from $2::text
Yes, and that's what I'm doing, although it is significantly less
precise, in that:
* Columns with different types may successfully compare (e.g., NULL
and '')
* No (easy) way to tell if two records have different numbers of columns
But it's good enough for 8.3 if there is no other workaround.
Thanks,
David
