The only comment I've seen on this was from Tom and his only concern was 
that old code wouldn't be able to compile against a new version of the 
function.  What you propose (delete pg_parse_and_rewrite) and replacing it 
with a function of the new name sounds fine.

Since no one else has proposed a better idea and the commit fest is ticking 
away I think you should go ahead and do that.
