I think you are right about functions (and aggregates) being the only desc-type where two objects can share the same name in the same schema.
This means the problem of dumping objects in different order is a very limited problem, only affecting overloaded functions.
I didn't include the arguments in the file name, as it would lead to very long file names unless truncated, and since the problem is very limited, I think we shouldn't include it. It's cleaner with just the name part of the tag in the file name.
Why not place all overloads of a function within the same file? Then, assuming you order them deterministically within that file, we sidestep the file naming issue and maintain useful diff capabilities, since a diff of the function's file will show additions or removals of various overloaded versions.
