You will also need to deal with modifiers in types such as VARCHAR(10). Not 
sure if there are specific functions which can only deal with literals (?) as 
well. Sorry, I do not completely understand how presence of type modifiers can 
affect string literals used in query.
Can you provide me some example? SELECT ‘hello’::CHAR(10) || ‘World’, 5 + 6;
You can substitute ‘hello’, ‘World’, 5, and 6. But not 10.
Also some OLAP syntax like “rows preceding”
It pretty much boils down to whether you can do some shallow parsing rather 
than expending the effort to build the parse tree.
Cheers Serge
