As a likely heavy user of this feature, I agree with Tom here.  I really don't want the column being silently preferred in SQL functions, when PL/pgSQL functions are throwing an error.  I'd end up spending hours debugging this.

Also, I don't understand why this would be a dump/reload issue if $1 and $2 continue to work.
