Applied, thanks, along with a regression test case. As far as I can
tell, plpython functions that have no names given for their parameters
have been broken for months, and we did not notice because whoever
added named-parameter support changed *every single* test case to use
only named parameters. Brilliant.

Alvaro's example now gives me this on Fedora 10:

ERROR: PL/Python: PL/Python function "unaccent" failed
DETAIL: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: normalize() argument 2 must be unicode, not str

which is the same as it did in 8.3. I do not know if that's a bug
or expected (making the database encoding be utf8 doesn't help).

Alvaro, would you see if it still crashes for you on Debian?
If so there's some other issue with python 2.5.4 ...
