In 8.0 and before I think you have to look in fcinfo->resultinfo to see
if an expectedDesc is supplied via a ReturnSetInfo. get_call_result_type()
handles that case along with the OUT-parameters case and the returns-a-
named-composite-type case, so it makes things a little easier and more
consistent.

You could do worse than to back-port get_call_result_type() into your
older branches and just leave out the code for the OUT parameter case.
