OK. If the attached patch is acceptable/applied, I'll fix and resend the doc patch.

I'm unconvinced that the parse-time-constant implementation Lockhart
started has anything whatever to do with the semantics the SQL99 spec
has in mind.

Yeah - I've realized this is quite a bit harder than it seemed on the surface. However it is still useful, as is, when working with polymorphic functions.

So do we rip it out, leave it undocumented, or document it including the deviation from spec?
