Any takers for --routines-only ?
"Routine" is the genuine, ISO SQL umbrella term for a function or procedure, and we have used it that way in our docs and glossary.
Thank you so much for your suggestion. I was really excited to find a generic term for Functions and Procedures, but "routine" also includes aggregation functions which I had excluded from my feature (see Postgres Glossary here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/glossary.html#GLOSSARY-ROUTINE).
I had decided not to include aggregate functions when I designed my patch because I thought most users wouldn't expect them in the result file. Was I wrong?
