Thanks everybody- I'm watching with a lot of interest. I was worried
that I was asking something stupid with an obvious answer...

Thanks, that's already turning out to be useful for something else I was
working on today:
select percent,
to_char(nedcar_tonnes_001(percent), '99990.99') AS nedcar
from generate_series(0,110,10) as percent;
The one thing I'd say about generate_series() is that the description
suggests that one has to put an explicit count() as the second parameter
if using it to number rows, i.e. it doesn't have an "as many as
necessary" option.
