Because code using them would be broken anyway by other changes in 8.1
--- for example, using pg_keypositions to iterate over function
arguments would now be wrong because there isn't a fixed upper limit on
number of arguments.

If you were using them, you'll need to tell us what for in order to get
advice about what to do instead.
