Well, keep in mind that what normally counts for a function's queries
is the permissions of the *caller*, not the owner.  If you want the
function to be able to do things regardless of who's calling it, mark
it SECURITY DEFINER, and then it runs with the owner's permissions.
Beware that malicious users might be able to subvert a SECURITY DEFINER
function to make it do something unintended ...
