     * @short Implements XSL-T's function <tt>fn:document()</tt>.
     *
     * @c fn:document() has no evaluation functions, because it rewrites
     * itself to a set of expressions that is the implementation.
     *
     * The two-argument version:
     *
     * <tt>document($uris as item()*, $baseURINode as node()) as node()*</tt>
     *
     * is rewritten into:
     *
     * <tt>for $uri in distinct-values($uris)
     * return doc(resolve-uri($uri, base-uri($baseURINode)))</tt>
     *
     * and the single version argument:
     *
     * <tt>document($uris as item()*) as node()*</tt>
     *
     * is rewritten into:
     *
     * <tt>for $uri in distinct-values($uris)
     * return doc($uri)</tt>
     *
     * The distinct-values() call ensures the node deduplication and sorting,
     * although it fails in the case that URIs resolve/directs in some way to
     * the same document. Some of those cases can be solved by wrapping the
     * whole expression with a node deduplication(conceptually the-for-loop/.).
     * One advantage with distinct-values() over generating traditional node
     * sorting/deduplication code is that the latter contains node sorting
     * which is uecessary and can be hard to analyze away. distinct-values()
     * doesn't have this problem due to its narrower task..
     *
     * This works without problems, assuming XTRE1160 is not raised and that
     * the recover action instead is ignore. In the case XTRE1160 is raised,
     * one must cater for this.
