Actually, if you're intending that a SQL function be inline-able then
it's best *not* to mark it as IMMUTABLE (nor STRICT either).  If the
marking matches the behavior of the contained expression then it
doesn't matter, but if the marking is stricter than the expression
it will prevent inlining.  Rather than think hard, I usually just don't
annotate the SQL function at all.
