The part was made in old versions and has kept till now. I rechecked them and
changed like below:

* This function just returns boolean, proretset was changed to 'f'.
* Based on above, prorows should be zero. Removed.
* Returned value is quite depended on the internal status, provolatile was
  changed to 'v'.
* There are no OUT and INOUT arguments, no need to set proallargtypes and proargmodes.
  Removed.
* Anonymous arguments are allowed, proargnames was removed NULL.
* This function is not expected to be call in parallel. proparallel was set to 'u'.
* The argument must not be NULL, and we should error out. proisstrict was changed 'f'.
  Also, the check was added to the function.
