It'd probably make sense for us to have one, though, given that I'm
intent on not hardwiring the two concepts together as the spec does ;-).
Although you can interrogate the search path with SHOW, that's not very
accessible at the SQL level, so an SQL function seems useful too.
I'd be inclined to make CURRENT_SCHEMA return the name of the schema
that is the default creation target namespace (viz, the front of the
search path). Thoughts?
