Backup aggregate function

Hi,

Is there a way to backup (dump) a specific aggregate function from the db (in the same manner as using -t option for a single table)?

Thanks

One method is to use pg_dump -s, which will dump the entire database schema
but none of its data, and then use your favorite text editor to pull out the
definition of just the function you want. There are functions to retrieve the
definition of various system objects (e.g. pg_get_indexdef,
pg_get_constraintdef), but I don't see one for functions.
