There's a project policy that that should be true. That justifies
marking things like record_in as stable --- if the per-column input
functions could be volatile, record_in would need to be as well.
There are other dependencies on it; see e.g. aab353a60, 3db6524fe.

Indeed, because type_sanity.sql checks that.
