The error I get is "subquery must return only one column".  Queries
like the following should work in 8.0.x:

SELECT queue.apply_routing_rule(m, r)
FROM (SELECT * FROM queue.messages WHERE id = 1) AS m,    (SELECT * FROM queue.routing_rules WHERE id = 1) AS r;

SELECT queue.apply_routing_rule(m, r)
FROM queue.messages AS m,     queue.routing_rules AS r
WHERE m.id = 1  AND r.id = 1;
