The SQL standard has diagnostics items ROUTINE_CATALOG, ROUTINE_SCHEMA,
ROUTINE_NAME, which are used when there is an error invoking another
routine. Using notionally similar FUNCTION_* keys to mean my own
function seems pretty confusing (and also of questionable usefulness, as
you have commented).
