Good point, because that is possible in some other systems, and so
somebody is going to ask for it at some point.

+1 --- seems like a new bool column is the thing.  Or may we should merge
"proisprocedure" with proisagg and proiswindow into an enum prokind?
Although that would break some existing client-side code.

PS: I still strongly disagree with allowing prorettype to be zero.
