E.g., in astronomical applications, the degrees, radians, and somewhat more specialized alpha functions are basic and used quite a lot. When working in other than 'sys' schemas, these functions have to be called by sys.degrees() etc., which is annoying and makes the SQL non-standard. It would be so much more user-friendly if these functions can be called like the trigonometric or statistical functions.
