This is also needed to be able to store utility statements in (unquoted)
SQL function bodies. I have some in-progress code for that that I need
to dust off. IIRC, there are still some nontrivial issues to work
through on the reading side. I don't have a problem with enabling the
outfuncs side in the meantime.
