Followup. Replaced Big Ugly Function with:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION _my_expand(TEXT) RETURNS TEXT AS $$
-- private func, expand various compact links
DECLARE
str TEXT = $1;
links RECORD;
BEGIN
FOR links IN SELECT short_link, long_link FROM short_links LOOP
str := REGEXP_REPL

I've got a system for entering and storing a lot of standard hyperlinks in a
compact form, and then expand them at run time like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION _my_expand(TEXT) RETURNS TEXT AS $$
-- private func, expand various compact links
DECLARE
str TEXT = $1;
BEGIN
