Okay, here you do. The other two call sites of SetFunctionReturnType
involve triggers and PLs, but those are able to consider correctly
dependencies. For PLs:
=# CREATE FUNCTION mylang_call_handler() RETURNS opaque language c AS
'$libdir/plpgsql', $function$plpgsql_call_handler$function$;
CREATE FUNCTION
=# CREATE language mylang HANDLER mylang_call_handler;
WARNING:  42809: changing return type of function mylang_call_handler
from opaque to language_handler
LOCATION:  CreateProceduralLanguage, proclang.c:283
CREATE LANGUAGE
=# drop function mylang_call_handler ();
ERROR:  2BP01: cannot drop function mylang_call_handler() because
other objects depend on it
DETAIL:  language mylang depends on function mylang_call_handler()
HINT:  Use DROP ... CASCADE to drop the dependent objects too.
LOCATION:  reportDependentObjects, dependency.c:963

For triggers:
=# CREATE FUNCTION fn_x_before () RETURNS opaque AS $$
   BEGIN
    return NEW;
   END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
=# CREATE TABLE aa (a int);
CREATE TABLE
=# CREATE TRIGGER aa_before BEFORE INSERT ON aa FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE
PROCEDURE fn_x_before();
WARNING:  01000: changing return type of function fn_x_before from
opaque to trigger
LOCATION:  CreateTrigger, trigger.c:551
CREATE TRIGGER
=# DROP FUNCTION fn_x_before ;
ERROR:  2BP01: cannot drop function fn_x_before() because other
objects depend on it
DETAIL:  trigger aa_before on table aa depends on function fn_x_before()
HINT:  Use DROP ... CASCADE to drop the dependent objects too.
LOCATION:  reportDependentObjects, dependency.c:963

Attached is an idea of patch, inputs welcome. Another idea would be to
deprecate things on HEAD and cause an ERROR when doing such things.
