Ideally, the output of the source listing could be used as input to 
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION without excessive massaging. Those line 
number prefixes make it hard to grab the output of \df+ and do something 
useful with it. Sure, vim's column-edit takes care of them quickly 
enough, but it's still a pain, and if the output format is to be changed 
it might be nice to see it change in a way that makes it easier to 
re-use that source listing.
