+%% This does not test what you might think it is supposed to test.
+%% Since the stored procedure has got 2 out parameters and no
+%% in parameters it is of arity 0 as called below.
+%%
+%% The port program odbcserver.c will marshal these out parameters
+%% and hand them to ODBC. The ODBC driver for postgres will
+%% apparently not give a hoot about these out parameters and instead
+%% return the result in a regular result select set. The port program
+%% will assume it has the result in the out parameters and marshal
+%% these as they are i.e as it itself had packed them, so they
+%% come back unchanged.
+%%
+%% The real function result goes into the void but the code in odbcserver.c
+%% that marshals out parameters returned from ODBC will be run
+%% so that is what this test tests...
