I think 309 will be the file line number of the start of the CREATE
FUNCTION command, while 61 will be the line number within the function
body.

If you have /* ... */ style comments in your file, I think psql might end
up considering the start of the comment before the CREATE FUNCTION command
as being the start point of that command for this purpose.
