Re: Using Expanded Objects other than Arrays from plpgsql

I'm not wedded to that name; do you have a better idea?

Another idea could be to make it an array:

- void *paramarg; /* private data for same */
+ void *paramarg[2]; /* private data for same */

That would require touching other code using that field, but there
probably isn't much --- at least within our own tree, plpgsql itself
is the only user of paramarg. Still, possibly breaking code that
didn't need to be broken doesn't seem like an improvement.

Yeah, known problem with Meson dependencies[1]; it's breaking
pretty much all the cfbot's windows builds right now, although
maybe there's a timing issue that allows some to pass.
