BTW, another thing I noticed while looking around is that some of
the functions using SRF_RETURN_DONE() think they should clean up
memory beforehand. This is a waste of code/cycles, as long as the
memory was properly allocated in funcctx->multi_call_memory_ctx,
because funcapi.c takes care of deleting that context.
We should probably document that *any* manual cleanup before
SRF_RETURN_DONE() is an antipattern. If you have to have cleanup,
it needs to be done via RegisterExprContextCallback instead.
