New version, fixed bugs with set operations and VALUES lists.

Looks good.

It seems weird to pass a PLpgSQL_row struct to check_sql_expr. check_sql_expr only needs to know how many attributes is expected to be in the target list, so it would be more natural to just pass an "int expected_natts".

Once you do that, you could trivially also add checking for other cases, e.g:

do $$
declare
  i int4;
begin
  -- fails at runtime, because "SELECT 1,3" returns two attributes,
  -- but FOR expects 1
  for i in 1,3..(2) loop
    raise notice 'foo %', i;
  end loop;
end;
$$;

There's probably more checking like that that you could add, but that can be done as add-on patches, if ever. The INTO mistake happens a lot more easily.
