Okay; let us get this one moving.

I ambushed aaime on his weekend to see if this was slated for gt-api as a 
simple patch; or if it would go through the proposal process.

My initial thought was that this should be handled in a similar fashion to the 
other marker interface we have in there:

> public interface BoundedSpatialOperator extends SpatialOperator {
> }

This is a marker interface used on spatial filters that can be optimised with a 
bounding box query up front.

With that in mind I was thinking of:

package org.opengis.filter.expression;
public interface VolitileFunction extends Function {
}

Q: Why gt-opengis?
A: It is next to the other filter stuff and thus can be easily found; there are 
already marker interfaces present so it is in good company

Q: Isn't this just an implementation detail that can be placed in gt-main? 
A: No; we need to commit to it as public api; so implementations can 
communicate to us how their function is to be used?
