Meh ... is it likely that the columns involved in an ordering comparison
would be so wide as to be toasted out-of-line? Such a query would only be
fast if the row value were indexed, which would pretty much preclude use
of wide columns.
I'm actually more worried about the function-returning-tuple case, as that
might bite people who thought they'd use some cute functional notation or
other and it wouldn't cost 'em anything.
