So to sum up:
- Add "Parallel" column
- Add ACLs
- Reordering the columns, I'd suggest as follows):
-- Schema
-- Name
-- Result data type
-- Argument data types
-- Type
-- Language
-- Volatility
-- Parallel
-- Owner
-- Security
-- ACL
-- Source code
-- Description
Or by thema, 1) General info, 2) specificity (volatility, parallel,
type), 3) Ownership.
And regarding "source code", I think that's useful for debugging.
