Leigh,
As Michael Kay pointed out "User-defined functions get no context item, position, or size. That's true both for named global functions and inline functions." so you won't be able to use position()not last() in the default context of your function body.
The variables in scope for the function body include all variables representing the function parameters, as well as all variables that are in scope for the inline function expression.
Note: Function parameter names can mask variables that would otherwise be in scope for the function body.
Kind regards,

So I think our custom functions also shouldn't do that. Now that we have variables you can work around this limitation.
Example:
<var name="context" value="."/>
<var name="context-pos" value="position()"/>
<var name="context-size" value="last()"/>
<function signature="my:f() as number" value="$context-pos = $context-size"/>
How does the scoping on this work?
Wouldn't you have to do this?
<function signature="my:f() as number" value="position() = last()"/>
