How do you intend to use it?

postgres=# create table bar (foo int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# \e
ERROR: relation "bar" already exists
postgres=#

You'd have to comment out the create table and then write all the alter
table statements to get the changes made.

selected.

postgres=# create or replace function foo() returns int as $$ select 1;
$$ language sql;
CREATE FUNCTION
postgres=# \e
CREATE FUNCTION
postgres=#
