Or strip it from a pg_dump/pg_dumpall with sed. Or write your own
function-dumper based on ideas gleaned from various notes/comments on
the web (my approach).

I had not thought of using the -Fc approach but it appears that that
would require dumping the whole database then using pg_restore to pull
the function definition from the dump.

One other thing that would be nice to have for function-dumping whether
in pg_dump or using the -Fc approach would be the ability to dump all
functions of a given name instead of having to go one-by-one. It's
pretty unusual for identically-named functions to have unrelated purposes.

Cheers,
Steve
