Tom Lane 312d21d863 Update docs & tests to reflect that unassigned OLD/NEW are now NULL. ... For a long time, plpgsql has allowed trigger functions to parse references to OLD and NEW even if the current trigger event type didn't assign a value to one or the other variable; but actually executing such a reference would fail. The v11 changes to use "expanded records" for DTYPE_REC variables changed the behavior so that the unassigned variable now reads as a null composite value. While this behavioral change was more or less unintentional, it seems that leaving it like this is better than adding code and complexity to be bug-compatible with the old way. The change doesn't break any code that worked before, and it eliminates a gotcha that often required extra code to work around. Hence, update the docs to say that these variables are "null" not "unassigned" when not relevant to the event type. And add a regression test covering the behavior, so that we'll notice if we ever break it again. Per report from Kristjan Tammekivi.
