+1 for removing that where possible.  We generally have avoided such
names at SQL level.  (The C-level function names need such prefixes to
be unique, but the SQL names don't.)

In the cases where one or more arguments are anyelement, however, we may
need to be more specific to avoid ambiguity problems in future.  I agree
with Josh's objections to record(), row() etc.  to_record() and
to_recordset() might be OK.
