I just called the ambiguous-function-name-resolution code in
parse_func.c and then checked to make sure it hadn't selected
something the executor wasn't prepared to cope with --- ie,
functions requiring runtime conversions of input data types.

It looked like you had copied out a bunch of the parse_func.c code,
which is OK in the short run but the duplicated code might be
a headache to keep in sync later on.
