This is for psql.  In what use-case do you see that being a serious
limitation?

I might support having psql be able to fall-back to checking if the
function name is unique (or perhaps doing that first before going on to
look at the function arguments) but I don't think this should all be
punted to the backend where only 9.3+ would have any real support for a
capability which already exists in other places and should be trivially
added to these.
Thanks,
    Stephen
