Indeed, I agree that enforcing the availability of querystring
everywhere sounds like a sensible thing to do in terms of consistency,
and that's my impression when I scanned the parallel execution code,
and I don't really get why SQL function bodies should not bind by this
rule. Would people object if I add an open item to track that?
