I frequently wish for type inference in PL/PgSQL functions returning query results, so Pg could essentially create and destroy a type along with the function, allowing you to reference columns in the functions results without having to use RETURNS RECORD and all that AS (column-list) pain. Of course, I don't want it badly enough to put my time where my mouth is and try to code it ;-) .
