I think the additional arguments should be matched to the function types using the same rules as for \dT. That allows patterns for the argument type names, which is particularly useful if you want to do something like \df foo * integer to find functions whose second argument is integer, without restricting the first argument. As a lesser quibble, splitting the arguments with strtokx is a hack; we should let the normal psql scanner collect the arguments. So that leads me to the attached, which I think is committable. Since we're down to the last day of the CF, I'm going to push this shortly if there aren't squawks soon. regards, tom lane
