By "fallback" I meant "this is what to use if no estimation function is
provided".

I'm envisioning that the CREATE FUNCTION syntax would add optional
clauses

                COST function-name-or-numeric-constant
                ROWS function-name-or-numeric-constant

that would be used to fill these columns.

                        regards, tom lane
