This is also needed to be able to store utility statements in (unquoted) 
SQL function bodies.  I have some in-progress code for that that I need 
to dust off.  IIRC, there are still some nontrivial issues to work 
through on the reading side.  I don't have a problem with enabling the 
outfuncs side in the meantime.
