I have not read the whole thread, but I am used to module level definitions
(which easily translate to funtion level):

    Create Module ZZZ [Authorization <auth-name>]

Where <auth-name> is any valid UID or Role (we don't have roles yet). We
definitely should not limit ourselves to DEFINER or INVOKER (and obviously,
when undefined, it is CURRENT_USER).
