I withdraw my objection.  When I read it, I thought we were going to
have CREATE FUNCTION and REPLACE FUNCTION.  I later realized it is
literally CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION.  Looks strange, but there is no
standard way to do this and we usually take the Oracle syntax when the
standard doesn't specify it.
