My bad. I remember having a hard time with matching data types in PL/pgSQL in one instance, but turns out that was with RETURN QUERY, not INTO. Anyway, I'd prefer adding an explicit warning about the non-strict behavior. How about: "The number of columns returned by the query is not checked to match target variables. Superfluous target variables are assigned the value NULL. When a record variable is the target, it automatically configures itself to the row type of the query result columns."
