Yeah, it does, although I'm not sure how intuitive it is that the
parentheses are significant ...

regression=#  select * from fdc();
  fdc  
-------
 (1,2)
(1 row)

regression=# select fdc from fdc();
  fdc  
-------
 (1,2)
(1 row)

regression=# select fdc.* from fdc();
  fdc  
-------
 (1,2)
(1 row)

regression=# select (fdc).* from fdc();
 r | i 
---+---
 1 | 2
(1 row)

                        regards, tom lane
