It's not really any weirder to allow this than to allow "SELECT func()",
as far as I can see.  Either way, you end up with a tuple containing one
column of type "void".  If we had a CALL statement then there might be
a reasonable argument for disallowing void-returning functions in both
places, but for now I've applied a modified form of Kris' patch.
