Hi,
Please test this script on a PostgreSQL 9.1.6,
create or replace function ps3(a int) returns int as $$ BEGIN
RAISE WARNING 'Call ps3(%)=%',$1,$1; RETURN $1::int;
END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql STRICT IMMUTABLE;
SELECT ps3(1);
SELECT ps3(2);
select coalesce( (select ps3(1)), (SELECT ps3(2)) );
explain (verbose, analyze, buffers) select coalesce( (select ps3(1)), (SELECT ps3(2)) );
select coalesce( ps3(1), ps3(2) );
The result will be
[postgres@]test=# create or replace function ps3(a int) returns int as $$ BEGIN
test$# RAISE WARNING 'Call ps3(%)=%',$1,$1; RETURN $1::int;
test$# END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql STRICT IMMUTABLE;

There is a bug !
Thank you for the documentation link, but it does not help me.
