Subject: Fast Path .. again

The fast path facility works if it is used with the retrieve.
For example, this works:

* retrieve (retval = sal_lookup("Joe"::text)) \g

Query sent to backend is "retrieve (retval = sal_lookup("Joe"::text)) "
---------------
| retval      |
---------------
| 1200        |
---------------

*
But shouldn't it work the other way also, since the function sal_lookup
is defined as a retrieve?
* sal_lookup("Joe"::text) \g

Query sent to backend is "sal_lookup("Joe"::text) "
WARN:Dec  5 12:46:45:parser: syntax error at or near "sal_lookup"

Thanks,
