I'm surprised to see that counted as docs, but good to know.
Consulting pg_proc constitutes, IMO, going outside the documentation to retrieve information. It is just not high up on anyone's annoyance list to try and get this piece of information incorporated into the documentation. Partly because \df+ does show this information as well, so at least one doesn't have to go write the catalog query themself.
