BTW, there's other cases where we're going to face this compatibility 
issue. The one I know of right now is that current handling of composite 
types containing arrays in plpython sucks, but there's no way to change 
that without breaking compatibility.

I don't see any good way to handle these compatibility things other than 
giving each one its own pl-specific GUC, but I figured I'd at least 
mention it.
