The basic capability is done, but a number of supporting capabilities 
remain. These are the ones I hope to have done for 7.3:

- PL/pgSQL table function support: not started, but I may get help with
   this.
- anonymous composite types: patch submitted
- stand-alone composite types: proposal submitted
- implicit stand-alone composite types on CREATE FUNCTION: proposal
   submitted
- Move show_all_settings() from contrib/tablefunc to the backend and
   create a system view using the same method as Neil's pg_locks view.

Additional refinements (streaming vs tuplestore, rescan pushed from 
planner to executor, etc) will be 7.4 items.

Additionally on my personal TODO for 7.3 are:
- modify contrib/dblink to take advantage of table function and new
   composite type capabilities
- submit string manipulation functions discussed with Thomas a few
   weeks ago --> replace(), to_hex(), extract_tok()
