No -- that would be quite impractical indeed. I'm talking about
something like
revoke all privileges on pg_proc from public;
create view limited_pg_proc
as select * from pg_proc
where proowner = (select oid from pg_authid where rolname = current_user);
grant select on limited_pg_proc to public;
Of course, it is only a rough sketch. It needs to be improved in a
number of ways. But it shows that even with pure SQL the solution is
not far; with backend changes it is certainly doable (for example invent
a separate "view source" privilege for functions).
