Hi!

Say, we have data processed by some user function and we want to keep
reference to this function
in our data. In this case we have two ways - first - store string output of
regprocedure, which is not
very convenient, and the second - store its OID, which requires slight
modification of pg_upgrade
(pg_dump and func/procedure creation function).

I've read previous threads about using regproc, and agree that this is not
a very good case anyway,
but I haven't found any serious obstacles that forbid modifying pg_upgrade
this way.
