Actually, I expect the function looks like xmlquery(xmlcontent,xquery) and return the query result.
So xmlconcat(xml1,xml2) become a good example to study.
starting from gram.y, I try to make parser to call xmlquery,the following is the result of diff:
diff gram.y c:\new_gram.y
449c449
< XMLPI XMLQUERY XMLROOT XMLSERIALIZE
---
> XMLPI XMLROOT XMLSERIALIZE
8270,8273d8269
< | XMLQUERY '(' expr_list ')'
< {
< $$ = makeXmlExpr(IS_XMLQUERY, NULL, NIL,$3);
< }
8287d8282
<
9296d9290
< | XMLQUERY
IS_XMLQUERY is added in primenodes.h
but the parser can not find xmlquery, the makeXmlExpr is not called at all.

How about CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xmlquery(...) ?
If that doesn't meet your needs, you'll need to explain what you're
trying to do - and probably provide a patch showing what you've tried
so far.
