* A FunctionCache record is built for all functions regardless of language.
*
* We store the fmgr lookup info to avoid recomputing it on each call.
- * We also store a prebuilt FunctionCallInfo struct. When evaluating a
- * function-returning-set, fcinfo holds the argument values across calls
- * so that we need not re-evaluate the arguments for each call. Even for
- * non-set functions, fcinfo saves a few cycles per call by allowing us to
- * avoid redundant setup of its fields.
+ *
+ * We also need to store argument values across calls when evaluating a
+ * function-returning-set. This is pretty ugly (and not re-entrant);
+ * current-evaluation info should be somewhere in the econtext, not in
+ * the querytree. As it stands, a function-returning-set can't safely be
+ * recursive, at least not if it's in plpgsql which will try to re-use
+ * the querytree at multiple execution nesting levels. FIXME someday.
