Replacing random() with a true constant gives me index scan
even if it's hidden inside other function calls. E.g.:

The database has no choice but to compute random() for every row; it's
marked VOLATILE.

I see now, docs about CREATE FUNCTION mentions random(),
currval() and timeofday() as examples for VOLATILE.
But where in the documentation can I find this info about all
built-in functions? Thanks.
