Can we deprecate blr_exec_pid (procedure id version of execute
procedure)? The only place it's generated is in gpre when compiling
with ids, itself a feature I'd like to deprecate. It all likelihood
blr_exec_pid has never been actually used.

The whole idea of ids in gpre is to avoid lookups. But to find the
procedure, it has to do a lookup anyway, unlike fields and tables. Gpre
could just as well generate a name (no loss of generality) and give up
on procedure id altogether.
