Thanks Matteo for your answer... but.. this is only a usecase... i'm currently using thing like this in a php app, so i'm doing kind of a as select * from test where a = test_immutable(?); then execute('var'); unfortunately there, i can't to an execute(test_immutable('var')) for now i've avoid using bind for those queries but i didn't like it....
