For some reason lost in the mists of prehistory, RETURN was only coded to
allow a simple reference to a composite variable when the function's return
type is composite. Allow an expression instead, while preserving the
efficiency of the original code path in the case where the expression is
indeed just a composite variable's name. Likewise for RETURN NEXT.
As is true in various other places, the supplied expression must yield
exactly the number and data types of the required columns. There was some
discussion of relaxing that for pl/pgsql, but no consensus yet, so this
patch doesn't address that.

Linking within SGML documents can be confusing, so here is a summary:
Intra-document Linking
----------------------
<xref>
use to get chapter/section # from the title of the target
link, or xreflabel if defined at the target; has no close tag
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/xref.html
<link>
use to supply text for the link, requires </link>
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/link.html
linkend=
controls the target of the link/xref, required
endterm=
for <xref>, allows the text of the link/xref to be taken from a
different link target title
External Linking
----------------
<ulink>
like <link>, but uses a URL (not a document target); requires
</ulink>; if no text is specified, the URL appears as the link
text
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/ulink.html
url=
used by <ulink> to specify the URL, required
Guidelines
----------
o If you want to supply text, use <link>, else <xref>
o Do not use text with <ulink> so the URL appears in printed output
o Specific nouns like GUC variables, SQL commands, and contrib modules
usually have xreflabels
