I think these are two distinct issues. The patch I sent along is
intended to make it more natural to invoke functions (and eventually
procedures) from PL/PgSQL, whereas adding support for CALL to SQL is
part of proper support for stored procedures. Gavin and I are hoping to
send a proposal for the latter to -hackers in a few days.
