Hi,
You write about wanting to define a procedure as an attribute.
I'm working on this implementation right now - so what you tried
to do just doesn't work yet.

By the way, you can't take all of the Postgres academic papers as gospel
as to what Postgres can do.  Postgres implementation goals have changed a
lot over the years.  The most trustworthy source of what Postgres really
does at any point in time is the reference manual which comes with the
source.
