Ideally, we'd figure out a way to pick up on this and address it without
the user needing to intervene, however ...

I agree that this would generally be a useful thing to have.

Definitely needs to have a 'REVOKE ALL ON FUNCTION' at the end of the
upgrade script, similar to what you'll find at the bottom of
pg_visibility--1.1.sql in the tree today, otherwise anyone could run it.
Beyond that, I'd suggest a function-level comment above the definition
of the function itself (which is where we tend to put those- not at the
point where we declare the function).
Thanks!
