Hm, yeah.

Anyone have ideas for better wording for the original error message,
or a DETAIL or HINT addition? The key point here is that the number of
_hypothetical_ arguments and the number of ordered columns must match,
but we don't currently exclude the possibility that a user-defined
hypothetical set function might have additional non-hypothetical args.

The first alternative that springs to mind is:

ERROR: Incorrect number of arguments for hypothetical set function
DETAIL: Number of hypothetical arguments (3) must equal number of ordered columns (2)
