Review Comment:
   `CompositeFunction` is similar to `CompositeAccess` but supports method call 
syntax, that supports method calls on subquery results (must be `XML` data type 
in MSSQL).
   Maybe it would be better to make  `CompositeFunction` a generic feature?
   
   ```rs
   /// CompositeFunction 
   /// Syntax: `<arbitrary-expr>.<arbitrary-expr>.<arbitrary-expr>...`, 
`arbitrary-expr` can be any expr including a function call.
   /// Example:
   /// ```sql
   /// SELECT (SELECT ',' + name FROM sys.objects  FOR XML PATH(''), 
TYPE).value('.','NVARCHAR(MAX)')   
   /// SELECT CONVERT(XML,'<Book>abc</Book>').value('.','NVARCHAR(MAX)')
   /// ```
   CompositeFunction {
       expr: Box<Expr>,
       name: Ident,
       args: Vec<Expr>,
   },
   ```
