Folks,

Per suggestions and lots of help from Andrew Gierth, please find
attached a patch to clean up the call sites for FuncCall nodes, which
I'd like to expand centrally rather than in each of the 37 (or 38, but
I only redid 37) places where it's called. The remaining one is in
src/backend/nodes/copyfuncs.c, which has to be modified for any
changes in the that struct anyhow.

The immediate purpose is two-fold: to reduce some redundancies, which
I believe is worth doing in and of itself, and to prepare for adding
FILTER on aggregates from the spec, and possibly other things in
the <aggregate function> part of the spec.

Cheers,
David.
