Yeah, I got burnt by that too.  I have a bad feeling that that keyword
is going to cause trouble for a lot of people.

[ thinks for a bit... ]  It might be possible to get rid of the keyword
and have RETURN QUERY be recognized by an ad-hoc strcmp test, much like
the various direction keywords in FETCH have been handled without making
them real keywords.  It'd be a bit uglier but it'd avoid making QUERY
be effectively a reserved word.
