Thread: Remove second argument from textToQualifiedNameList

Hi,

i found out that the function textToQualifiedNameList doesn't use the
second argument it receive (caller). i suppose in the past was used
and now it is useless, if that is the case here is a patch removing.
Or are any reasons to keep that argument?

None that I can see. I'll apply the patch later today, barring any
objections.

Looking at the 7.3 sources, the argument was used to support the
then-existing convention that an error message include the name
of the reporting routine.  This does seem obsolete now.
