I don't know which patch is actually being proposed now.  It would be
good to make this more explicit and maybe include a synopsis of the
functions in the email, so we know what's going on.

What confuses me about some of the functions I've seen in earlier
patches in this thread is that they return setof something.  But in my
mind, regular expression matches or string splits are inherently
ordered, so an array would be the correct return type.
