 I have started to do this with the raster functions by making sure the
 function names given match the documented ones.

 Now that both PostgreSQL 9.0 and 9.1 support named function arguments I
 can only assume peopel will begin to think the argument names we have
 documented in the manual can be used with this syntax.  Of course in most
 cases they can not since many of our functions except for the raster ones
 even use names.

 By named argument call syntax I mean this

 {{{
 SELECT ST_AddBand(rast:= myrast, pixeltype:='8BUI');
 }}}
