This patch is completely unsafe. It will break stored rules, which may
contain calls using the existing argument order (which will be dumped
without any of the SQL-spec syntactic sugar). To say nothing of existing
applications that may be relying on calling the underlying functions with
their existing argument order.
The inconsistency in argument order is unfortunate but we're long since
stuck with it, I'm afraid.
