Well, it's inconsistent now. In existing releases you might or might not
get x,y:
regression=# create table foo (f1 int, f2 int);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into foo values(1,2);
INSERT 0 1
regression=# select row_to_json(q) from (select f1 as a, f2 as b from foo) as q(x,y);
row_to_json
---------------
{"x":1,"y":2}
(1 row)
regression=# select row_to_json(q) from (select f1 as a, f2 as b from foo offset 0) as q(x,y);
row_to_json
-----------------
{"f1":1,"f2":2}
(1 row)
That seems like something that's worth fixing going forward, but it's a
lot harder to make the case that we should change it in back branches.
