Notice, please, that the bug does not only affect existing functions
returning table rows, it also prevents new functions from being
created. I think this should not take place. I can agree that one
should not be able to drop columns when there are some functions using
the table as an argument or return type, but it should be possible to
drop these functions, then drop some columns and create completely new
functions. And now it ends with an error. :(
