BTW, it occurs to me after answering bug #16534 that
contrib/earthdistance's SQL functions would be great candidates for this
new syntax. Binding their references at creation time is really exactly
what we want.

I still feel that we can't just replace the existing implementation,
though, as that would kill too many use-cases where late binding is
helpful.
