I think Merlin probably meant to write "select x((1,2))", but that
doesn't work out-of-the-box either.  What would be affected is
something like

    select text((1,2));

which you'd now be forced to write as

    select (1,2)::text;

(or you could use CAST notation; but not text(row) or row.text).
