You are right. I was more concerned with getting the same number of functions as in pgAdmin III. There were two
'missing'because of pg_function_is_visible: 

public.plpgsql_call_handler()
public.plpgsql_validator(oid)

They are obviously relicts from an earlier PostgreSQL-version. Could they cause problems if left be although the new
versionsare now in pg_catalog which obviously is being searched before all other schemata? 

But why is regprocedure not just addding the schema to all of the functions then?

Thank you very much,

Peter
