From the SQL commands section of the manual:

RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT or STRICT indicates that the function always 
returns NULL whenever any of its arguments are NULL. If this parameter is 
specified, the function is not executed when there are NULL arguments; 
instead a NULL result is assumed automatically.
