Also, somebody correct me if I'm off my rocker here, but immutable
procedures are re-evaluated for each execution...they are just folded
into a constant during plan phase.   To demonstrate this:

create temp sequence s;
postgres=# create function f() returns void as $$ select nextval('s');
$$ language sql;
create view v as select * from f();
create function g() returns bigint as $$ begin return f(); end; $$
language plpgqsl;
select * from v;
 f
---
 1
(1 row)

postgres=# select * from v;
 f
---
 2
(1 row)

postgres=# select g();
 g
---
 3
(1 row)

postgres=# select g();
 g
---
 4
(1 row)
