Developers,

While I realize that we already have a number of TODOs on the list for
PL/pgSQL which nobody is working on, I'd like to propose one more. That way,
when someday somebody takes this on, they'll have a full list of feature
requests.

This one gets requested about once per month on the SQL list:

-- Allow naming of columns by ordinal position in PL/pgSQL,
e.g. some_rec.(3) or NEW.(3)
