Doesn't that blow up if the subselect returns more than one row?
I think you could make it work by wrapping regexp_matches in a
simple (non-SETOF) SQL function, but just writing out the sub-SELECT
doesn't do it. This goes back to the recent discussion of why SQL
functions can't always be inlined --- the semantics are a bit
different in some cases.
