I have to agree that calling the property "security definer/invoker" is 
a poor name in general. "security" is such on overloaded word that it 
could mean anything. "Run as" would make a lot more sense. But given 
that that's the nomenclature we have in the CREATE FUNCTION statement, 
the docs, prosecdef column name and everywhere, that's what we have to 
call it in \df+ too.
