Modification of proposal: I think so from discussion can take some two points:
a) enhancing editing \ef funcname, line ... edit function and move cursor on line \ef ... edit function - name and line take from error message b) enhancing view \sf funcname ... show function source code without any decorations - good for copy/paste \sf+ funcname ... show function and add line numbers, maybe others in future \sf+ funcname, line ... show function from line \sf ... show function - name and line take from error message + add new system variable PG_EDITOR_OPTION ?? what do you think about?
