You realize of course that you can do this *today* if you use OUT
parameters?
No, I didn't realize. I always assumed OUT parameters were like return
values from a function ... like:
(out1, out2, out3) = somefunction (in1, in2, in3);
I never realized you could return a SETOF those OUT parameters. I guess
it wasn't intuitive, but I'm learning this now.
I think all the functionality I want DOES already exist. Let me go work
with it. Thanks.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "my_custom_func" (in_value bigint,
OUT col1name BIGINT, OUT col2name TEXT, ...)
RETURNS SETOF RECORD AS
The TABLE syntax is a bit more standards-compliant maybe, but it's not
offering any actual new functionality.
