Yeah, I got burnt by that too. I have a bad feeling that that keyword
is going to cause trouble for a lot of people.
[ thinks for a bit... ] It might be possible to get rid of the keyword
and have RETURN QUERY be recognized by an ad-hoc strcmp test, much like
the various direction keywords in FETCH have been handled without making
them real keywords. It'd be a bit uglier but it'd avoid making QUERY
be effectively a reserved word.
