Wow you're not kidding. I've been using postgresql for I don't know how
many years and I don't think I'd ever noticed that before. ISTM that we
can make \df return only user function and \dfS return the system
functions, and this would be consitant with how we handle other options.
Just make sure to reword \? out put to make it clear that adding S will
show system objects.
