> Currently, we don't allow null parameters for functions. So
> {noformat}
> UPDATE test SET d=dateOf(null) WHERE k=0
> {noformat}
> is basically an invalid query. Unfortunately, there's at least one case where
> we don't validate correctly, namely if we do:
> {noformat}
> SELECT k, dateOf(t) FROM test
> {noformat}
> In that case, if for any of the row {{t}} is null, we end up with a server
> side NPE. But more importantly, throwing an InvalidException in that case
> would be pretty inconvenient and actually somewhat wrong since the query is
> not invalid in itself. So, at least in that latter case, we want {{dateOf(t)
> == null}} when {{t == null}}. And if we do that, I suggest making it always
> the case (i.e. make the first query valid but assigning {{null}} to {{d}}).
