What about taking a lock on the functions we decide we will need to be
running, maybe a ShareUpdateExclusiveLock, so that the function can not
disappear under us from concurrent activity?

Note to self, most probably using:
	LockRelationOid(fnoid, ShareUpdateExclusiveLock);

After all, we might be right not to optimize for DDL concurrency…
