Ahm, there's the security question, which asks for confirmation (which 
may be disabled for people like me who newwer pressss da wrong kay :-) 
A dropped object is dropped, but (as any row in a table) is still 
physically present until VACUUMed. In theory, the XID could be tuned 
back (by hacking the kernel), but I doubt it's worth the trouble.

Not this kind of stuff. The object tree is not an editor, but a 
structured view of database content. We're executing "DROP FUNCTION 
dontDropMe()" and that's it.

Happy recoding...
