Yes.

Yes, we can do like what we do for TABLESAMPLE for example:

    /* check that handler has correct return type */
    if (get_func_rettype(handlerOid) != TSM_HANDLEROID)
        ereport(ERROR,
                (errcode(ERRCODE_WRONG_OBJECT_TYPE),
                 errmsg("function %s must return type %s",
                        NameListToString(rts->method), "tsm_handler"),
                 parser_errposition(pstate, rts->location)));
