Nope. I suppose this was a garbled report of the problem with
default 'now'
as opposed to
default now()
The timestamp input parser will take 'now()' and variants on that,
since it basically ignores punctuation. So probably what was really
at stake was
default 'now()'
(wrong because a string literal) versus
default now()
(correct because a function call).
