Did you do some performance checks?

I tried some worst case

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fx(int)
RETURNS int AS $$
SELECT $1 + $1
$$ LANGUAGE SQL IMMUTABLE;

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fx2(int)
RETURNS int AS $$
SELECT $1 * 2
$$ LANGUAGE SQL IMMUTABLE;

do $$
begin
  for i in 1..1000000 loop
    perform fx(i); -- or fx2
  end loop;
end;
$$;
DO

The patched version reduces the difference between execution fx and fx2,
but patched version is about 10% slower than unpatched.

The overhead of plan cache looks significant for simple cases (and a lot of
SQL functions are very simple).
