I think it makes my code cleaner, I'll give you an update tomorrow

Yeah, I think that might work if I understand it correctly.
Assuming I would be able to prepare, and bind all the parameters, and
the OUT parameters
would be ignored.
This is what I've got in mind:
regression=# create function myfunc(f1 int, f2 int, out sum int,
out prod int)
regression-# language plpgsql strict immutable as $$
regression$# begin
regression$# sum := f1 + f2;
regression$# prod := f1 * f2;
regression$# end$$;
CREATE FUNCTION
regression=# select * from myfunc(11,22);
sum | prod
-----+------
33 | 242
(1 row)
Using PREPARE/EXECUTE as a SQL-level substitute for Parse/Bind/Execute
messages, the CVS-tip behavior is
regression=# prepare foo(int,int,void,void) as
regression-# select * from myfunc($1,$2,$3,$4);
ERROR: function myfunc(integer, integer, void, void) does not exist
and with the attached patch you'd get
regression=# prepare foo(int,int,void,void) as
regression-# select * from myfunc($1,$2,$3,$4);
PREPARE
regression=# execute foo(11,22,null,null);
sum | prod
-----+------
33 | 242
(1 row)
Does that solve your problem?
