This is in fact all dealt with for CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION, but
Jan's point holds also for CREATE OR REPLACE other-stuff.  The syntax
change alone is the least of one's worries when implementing such
things.

We were foolish enough to accept a patch for CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
that did not deal with propagating the changes, and had to do a lot of
work to clean up after it.  We will not be so forgiving next time...
