This works for me. I wonder if you have some issues with bogus
invisible characters in your actual input file. Copying and
pasting from your mail (but removing the schema name for
convenience), I got
regression=# CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION tell_me_how_atomic()
regression-#
regression-# RETURNS text
regression-#
regression-# LANGUAGE SQL
regression-#
regression-# BEGIN ATOMIC
regression-#
regression-# return 'atomic';
regression-#
regression-# END;
CREATE FUNCTION
regression=# select * from tell_me_how_atomic()
regression-# ;
tell_me_how_atomic
--------------------
atomic
(1 row)
