Alright I can do it this way.
However there is one question about implementing it in plpgsql. 
Currently, the compiler reads info directly from heap tuple, so I either 
have to write separate compiler for inline functions or change the 
existing one to accept the required info as parameters and "fabricate" 
some of it when compiling inline function. I am unsure which one is the 
preferred way.
