I think that's it. I tested by creating a function like

create function foo() returns text transform for type circle

that is, with the transform type not appearing as an argument or
return type.

As far as I know, that's still a cromulent usage, as I could be saying
I want the function to apply that transform to circles it uses or retrieves
in queries it makes.

But if the dependency is being created based on argument/return types
and not on protrftypes, that will slip right through the cracks.
