Isn't the grammar explicit enough to distinguish a value (in this case function
call) from a type name ? It seems a type name will only appear in very specific
contexts.
Imho it would be nice if we could allow "select timestamp(xxx);",
and this has been the umpteenth request in this regard, and 7.2 is not even
released yet.
