OK; the only change in this version is "isconst = false;". Now you can
use $0 as a result placeholder if desired. E.g.:

create or replace function tmp(anyelement, anyelement) returns anyarray as '
declare
  v_ret alias for $0;
  v_el1 alias for $1;
  v_el2 alias for $2;
begin
  v_ret := ARRAY[v_el1, v_el2];
  return v_ret;
end;
' language 'plpgsql';

create table f(f1 text, f2 text, f3 int, f4 int);
insert into f values ('a','b',1,2);
insert into f values ('z','x',3,4);

select tmp(f1,f2) from f;
select tmp(f3,f4) from f;
