This should probably be added to section 24.1. of the documentation. At least i couldn't find it elsewhere.

That solved my problem. Now the autovacuum daemon is able to find the function.

Could you elaborate a bit more on this? It seems like this would only limit/change which objects should be accessed
within the function as described by the CREATE FUNCTION documentation. The function itself wouldn't still be picked
up by the autovacuum daemon or am i missing something?
