There's some tricky stuff in here to say the least. Doesn't look like
param names are kept anywhere past the parser - gonna have to have it
follow through a bunch of functions to reach
parse_(fixed|variable)_parameters. The p_post_columnref_hook you
alluded to will help once I have the names though, so thanks :)
