Perhaps Skype needs to rethink how they are modifying functions.
The reason that this case wasn't covered in 8.3 is that there didn't
seem to be a use-case that justified doing the extra work. I still
haven't seen one. Other than inline-able SQL functions there is no
reason to invalidate a stored plan based on the fact that some function
it called changed contents.
