Consider the following case of a function that requires a column
definition list (example borrowed from the regression tests):
create function array_to_set(anyarray) returns setof record as $$

It seems to me that we don't really want this behavior of the coldeflist
not including the ordinality column. It's operating as designed, maybe,
but it's unexpected and confusing. We could either

select * from generate_series(1,2) with ordinality as t(f1,f2);
Right, that works (and is required by spec, I believe). It's what to
do with our column-definition-list extension that's at issue.
