I tried that.  While the server allows the revoke, it does nothing.

I also tried hacking the search path and putting a pg_proc table into
the public schema. While this fixed select * from pg_proc (but not /df),
pgAdmin still pulled the function source.  Without checking, I'm
assuming pgAdmin prefixes the catalog tables in the metadata queries
(aside: should it?).

Well, I was hoping for some easy trick but apparently there isn't one.
I think this is one for -hackers.
