Funny, we have been mixing in this way since at least Pg 8.1 with no
problems just because the names are of semantic value to the
application, and SQL language functions don't support named arguments.
If this ever changes, I would certainly hope that the SQL language
functions would first be given named argument support.
You used to be able to mix directly in plpgsql iirc but I don't know
if that's still the case.
