I don't think so.  We are talking about
SELECT f(42 AS a, col1 AS b) AS collabel FROM ...

Certainly there's no ambiguity to a person in this: param name AS's are
inside parens, collabel AS's are not.  I believe that bison would deal
with this handily ... but I have to admit I've not actually tried to
make the grammar changes for it.
