$ createdb test_8
CREATE DATABASE
$ createlang plpgsql test_8
$ psql test_8 -c \

language 'plpgsql'"
CREATE FUNCTION
$ psql test_8 -c "select foo()";
foo

Note that there was a problem restoring the function.
Did --clean remove the public schema?
Hmm ... maybe there's a problem with --clean
$ dropdb test_8
DROP DATABASE
$ pg_restore --format=c --create --dbname=test test_8.dump

Yep, but we still can't restore the function.
tests with format=t show the same behaviour.
tests with format=p succeed
