Actually I think it should be in functioncmds.c. I moved the special
kluges for opclass names out of gram.y and into indexcmds.c awhile ago.
But that's just an implementation detail --- we really need to still be
thinking about whether this is the behavior we want or not. Someone
else made a fair point that such a kluge might not actually make life
any easier for reloading dump files. If we do it that way, then if a
non-superuser tries to CREATE FUNCTION ... LANGUAGE "plpython" it will
fail (not being trusted) and so he's got no hope of loading the dump
without editing anyway. If that's true, there's not much point in
introducing a hidden kluge.
