 *		it is supposed to return.  If resultTypeId isn't NULL, *resultTypeId
 *		receives the actual datatype OID (this is mainly useful for scalar
 *		result types).	If resultTupleDesc isn't NULL, *resultTupleDesc
 *		receives a pointer to a TupleDesc when the result is of a composite
 *		type, or NULL when it's a scalar result or the rowtype could not be
 *		determined.  NB: the tupledesc should be copied if it is to be
 *		accessed over a long period.
 * get_expr_result_type:
 *		Given an expression node, return the same info as for
 *		get_call_result_type.  Note: the cases in which rowtypes cannot be
 *		determined are different from the cases for get_call_result_type.
 * get_func_result_type:
 *		Given only a function's OID, return the same info as for
 *		get_call_result_type.  Note: the cases in which rowtypes cannot be
 *		determined are different from the cases for get_call_result_type.
