That presumes the opposite case, when you only want to see system
functions.

I hesitate to suggest this, but maybe an acceptable compromise is\df -> old behavior\dfS -> only system functions\dfU
->only user functions
 

I do not actually believe that either of the latter really makes
sense in combination with a pattern, but if people are going to
insist on seeing a misleading view of the system state, let's at
least make it symmetric.
