I think that choice will be driven by one thing and one thing only: do
procedures and functions have the same primary key?  Which boils down to
whether they have the same semantics about overloaded function names
and resolution of ambiguous parameter types.  Personally I think I'd
prefer that they did, but plenty of people have indicated they'd rather
have other features (like defaultable parameters).
