Attached is a diff -c format proposal to fix this. I've also attached a short
test script. Seems to work OK and passes all regression tests.
Here's a breakdown of how I understand plpgsql's "Special word rules" -- I
think it illustrates the behavior reasonably well. New functions added by this
patch are plpgsql_parse_tripwordtype and plpgsql_parse_dblwordrowtype:

No one commented on the choice of name, so the attached patch changes
the name of split(text,text,int) to split_part(text,text,int) per
Hannu's recommendation above. This can be applied without an initdb if
current beta testers are advised to run:
update pg_proc set proname = 'split_part' where proname = 'split';
in the case they want to use this function. Regression and doc fix is
also included in the patch.

Ok, the following patch should solve this concern. It also tries to
connect as little times as possible (the previous one would connect one
time per table plus one per database; this one connects two times per
database).

that are explicitly JOINed are not considered dependencies unless they
are actually used in the query: mere presence in the joinaliasvars
list of a JOIN RTE doesn't count as being used. The patch touches
a number of files because I needed to generalize the API of
query_tree_walker to support an additional flag bit, but the changes
are otherwise quite small.
- Properly drop tables in jdbc regression tests with cascade for 7.3
- problem with Statement.execute() and executeUpdate() not clearing binds
- problem with ResultSet not correctly handling default encoding
- changes to correctly support show transaction isolation level in 7.3
- changed DatabaseMetaDataTest to handle differences in FK names in 7.3
- better fix for dynamically checking server NAME data length
(With the fixes above the jdbc regression tests pass on jdbc2 and jdbc3
against both a 7.2 and 7.3 server)

- problem with getBlob when largeobject oid is null
- improvements to BlobOutputStream

never been the correct procedure for locking a relation, and the
recently-found ALTER TABLE bug with adding a constraint and a toast
table in the same command shows why it's a bad idea.
Eliminate the mysterious games that the Cygwin build plays with the linker
flag variables. DLLLIBS is gone, use SHLIB_LINK like everyone else.
Detect cygipc in configure, after the linker flags are set up, otherwise
configure might not work at all.
Make sure everything is covered by make clean.
Fix the build of the new conversion procedure modules.
Add new DLLIMPORT markers where required.
Finally, the compiler complains if we use an explicit
-I/usr/local/include, so don't do that. Curiously, -L/usr/local/lib is
still necessary.
'make install'; there are enough of 'em that this slowed down the make
noticeably. Ensure that 'all' is the default make target in all these
directories (defaulting to 'make install' is surprising and dangerous
IMHO). Fix a couple small typos.
creation to world, but disallow temp table creation in template1. Per
latest round of pghackers discussion.
I did not force initdb, but the permissions lockdown on template1 will
not take effect unless you do one (or manually REVOKE TEMP ON DATABASE template1 FROM public).
a series of localtime() calls to determine the local timezone offset
when mktime() fails. This eliminates regression failures on RHL 7.3,
and should continue to work until it occurs to the glibc boys to break
localtime() as well. By then I hope we'll have our own timezone code...
