Ick. Were you maybe working on it inside a transaction that you forgot

Should still be there in the table, if you haven't vacuumed. Getting
it out again is another story though. If it was a small enough function,
good ol' "strings" would do to extract the function body, which is
probably all that you really need. But if it's more than a couple K
then the text will be compressed and difficult to spot or extract.
