I think what you want here is some way to define a function that takes an

everything out. I see no reason why this can't be a variant on CREATE
FUNCTION, except that of course you need to figure out some API and function
resolution details.
We've already got "variadic any" functions --- the problem is to tell
the parser what the function's result type will be, given a particular
parameter list. I agree that hooking transformExpr is not exactly the
most ideal way to attack that from a performance or complexity
standpoint.
What is the defined return type logic for the decode() function anyway?
If you want the full CASE-like resolution logic, it might be very hard
to fit that into a general system.
