If you write something like
create function foo (in p1 int, out r1 int, out r2 text)returns setof record
then you've effectively got a function returning an anonymous composite
type (here, with one int and one text column). I don't see a case for
inventing a separate facility that will pretty much just duplicate this
functionality.
