I tend to agree with that, though I believe it's a topic for another
thread.

Ok, great, thanks for clarifying that. Since we only have '\sf' today,
I think the prevailing option here is then to make the change to
removing 'prosrc' from \df+, have an 'internal name' column, and have
users use \sf for functions.
If anyone feels differently, please speak up.
Personally, I like the idea of a '\sv' for views, though we should
discuss that on a new thread.
Thanks!
Stephen
