Hm, so if you do nothing then really the only thing that doesn't work
is if you have add_missing_from then plpgsql record variables wouldn't
work when you tried to reference their columns?

Perhaps we could just document that add_missing_from breaks that case?
The worst thing about that is that someone could switch that option on
globally on their server and break code that's part of some
third-party module.
