Okay, now this has aroused my interest. I remember vaguely that there
was such a problem. I can see it with 2.2.0, but with 2.3.4 it's gone
which is no wonder as both, the function execution code and the function
parsing code has undergone extensive rewrites. I guess it won't be
fixed in the 2.2.x series.
