I know I haven't had time to absorb Peter's suggestions and comment, but I
think the current behavior is broken, and this patch should be applied anyway
(this was only yhe first half of my proposal -- i.e. prevent more than one
targetlist srf). The only reason I can think to not apply it, is if you think
we should completely disallow targetlist set returning functions as part of
moving to SQL99.
