Thanks a lot for this clarification, now I understand you viewpoint.

So, the 8.3 "fix" would be about documenting this intentionnal omit in the 
great manual, maybe in a Limits section of the sql-createfunction page?

Another thing I do not understand well is how people are expected to work in 
8.3 with a function based API, without hitting Skype problems. I'm having a 
project here where the project manager wants a database function API to keep 
data logic at serverside, should I tell him to reconsider this while 8.4 is 
not ready?
We would then have to go live with an 8.3 based solution containing middleware 
code, then port it again to SQL functions when 8.4 is out & stable. Not 
appealing, but I sure understand the no new feature in stable code base 
argument here.
