I'm thinking of doing a tutorial -- something like "Extending PostgreSQL
with C" -- show/explain (comments/additions welcome):
  - contrib build system basics
  - building a simple scalar function
  - I/O functions and a building custom datatype
  - simple polymorphic scalar functions
  - SRF using the one-row-at-a-time api
  - SRF using a tuplestore

I think it would be nice if we had a tutorial or session on advanced use
  of each PL -- at least for the most commonly used ones.
