[ thinks about it... ] If you've declared the function input parameter
as a domain type and then write a parameterized query like
... function($1) ...
and don't specify any particular datatype for the parameter symbol,
I think the backend will infer the domain type as the parameter type.
Which would also allow bypassing the domain checks.

You could work around this by explicitly specifying the parameter
type as text or varchar or whatever the domain's base type is.
I wonder though if we oughtn't change the backend so that the inferred
type of a parameter symbol is never a domain, but the domain's base
type. That would force the proper application of CoerceToDomain inside
the constructed query parsetree.
