That rationale means that RETURN SETOF is not needed, and can be removed
from Pg, since "RETURNS TABLE meet the need already".
But of course there /are/ times when RETURN SETOF /is/ useful.
So... can ad hoc SETOF definitions be created in the function definition, or
is CREATE TYPE the only way to do it?
