/*
 *	Parse a function call
 *
 *	For historical reasons, Postgres tries to treat the notations tab.col
 *	and col(tab) as equivalent: if a single-argument function call has an
 *	argument of complex type and the function name matches any attribute
 *	of the type, we take it as a column projection.
 *
 *	Hence, both cases come through here.  The is_column parameter tells us
 *	which syntactic construct is actually being dealt with, but this is
 *	intended to be used only to deliver an appropriate error message,
 *	not to affect the semantics.  When is_column is true, we should have
 *	a single argument (the putative table), function name equal to the
 *	column name, and no aggregate decoration.
 *
 *	In the function-call case, the argument expressions have been transformed
 *	already.  In the column case, we may get either a transformed expression
 *	or a RangeVar node as argument.

 *		keeping the leftmost argument type as low in the inheritance tree
 *		as possible.  This is intentional; it is exactly what we need to
 *		do for method dispatch.  The last type array we return is all
