    I also think what you said is valid. If so, I think we also need to provide 
users a way to recover the built-in function, if they dropped it for any 
purpose. 
    
    This PR is just to make our behavior consistent with Hive and the 
mainstream RDBMS. Normally, we do not allow users to drop the built-in 
functions. I am fine if we allow users to drop the built-in functions. 
    
    Thanks!
