You bring up an excellent point, which is that our builtin functions could use a lot more documentation directly to hand than they now have. For example, there's a lot of needless ambiguity created by function comments which leave it up in the air as to which positional argument does what in functions like string_to_array, which take multiple arguments. I'll try to get a patch in for the next CF with a fix for that, and a separate one that doesn't put it on people to use \df+ to find the comments we do provide. There have been proposals for including an optional space for COMMENT ON in DDL, but I suspect that those won't fly unless and until they make their way into the standard.
Since you mention \df+, I wonder if this is the time to consider removing the source code from \df+ (since we have \sf) and adding in the proacl instead?
