populate_record_worker in jsonfuncs.c says this: if (get_call_result_type(fcinfo, NULL, &tupdesc) != TYPEFUNC_COMPOSITE) ereport(ERROR, (errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED), errmsg("function returning record called in context " "that cannot accept type record"), errhint("Try calling the function in the FROM clause " "using a column definition list.")));
dblink.c has a similar incantation. Is there any reasonable alternative? That is, if you have a function returning SETOF record, and the details of the record type aren't specified, is there anything you can do other than error out like this?
