AFAIR, the only person who's actually stated any intention to work on
this for 8.1 was me, and what I intend to do is just enough to support
OUT and INOUT parameters in plpgsql. This is mostly because Red Hat
wants to run some test suites that require those capabilities.

There was some discussion of other ideas in the pgsql-hackers list
a few weeks ago (see the archives) but I don't think anyone is stepping
up to the plate to do them.
