Then, AFAIK, you're not going to have much luck, as Pg needs to know the
columns that'll be output before the function is called. Applications
and DB access interfaces also usually also need to know the column list
beforehand.
If you return a refcursor you can at least use:
SELECT report('table_name');
FETCH ALL IN 'cursorname';
The documentation has a more full example:

Personally, I find it difficult to imagine what could be wrong with that.
