7.2b3 :)

One thing that should be noted here is that after reconnecting you should
get the 3 back out. IIRC parse tree stuff is done first time its called
through a connection.  So, if you're dropping and doing stuff via like
editing files and psqling them and then starting a psql and trying your
function you won't see it happen.
