funcexempt would only be nonzero for FuncExpr of length coercion casts.  Those
have the subject datum as a first argument, typmod as second, and is-explicit
boolean as third.  The other arguments are effectively already validated.

That brings up a point -- the exemptor function also needs an is-explicit
argument, as that affects the decision for some types.
