I think starting any function that's not a setter with Set* is very likely to
be misunderstood (SetReturning* is clearer, but long). This just reads like
you're setting the materialized function call on something.

Yes. The SRF is the important part.

There's lot of other other things that can be materialized.

Agreed that we'd need compat. I think it'd need to be compatibility function,
not just renaming via macro, so we keep ABI compatibility.
