< 	o Add Oracle-style packages
< 	o Add table function support to pltcl, plpython
< 	o Add capability to create and call PROCEDURES
< 	o Allow PL/pgSQL to handle %TYPE arrays, e.g. tab.col%TYPE[]
< 	o Allow function argument names to be statements from PL/PgSQL
< 	o Add MOVE to PL/pgSQL
< 	o Add support for polymorphic arguments and return types to
< 	  languages other than PL/PgSQL
< 	o Add support for OUT and INOUT parameters to languages other
< 	  than PL/PgSQL
< 	o Add single-step debugging of PL/PgSQL functions

The FAQ* files in this directory are the master versions, and the
../../FAQ* text files are created using lynx:

	lynx -force_html -dont_wrap_pre -dump -hiddenlinks=ignore -nolist FAQ*

The TODO.html file in this directory is not the master, but ../../TODO
is.  The conversion is done using txt2html:

	txt2html -m -s 100 -p 100 --xhtml --titlefirst \
		--body_deco ' bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#FF0000" vlink="#A00000" alink="#0000FF"' \
