BTW, several of the earlier threads complained of needing to make NEXT
a fully-reserved word in order to get this to parse without shift/reduce
conflicts.  How did you avoid that?  I notice that your patch puts the
new production into c_expr not func_expr_common_subexpr which would
seem like the obvious place.  If that is what's making the difference
it seems rather fragile, and it would mean that NEXT VALUE FOR doesn't
act like a function in some syntactic contexts like a FROM-function.
