It does not, because it's not the *name* of the function that I care
about --- it's the actual executable expression including arguments.

Wheeler's example involves
select ... from unnest(array[blah blah blah])

and I'd like it to regurgitate the whole unnest(array[blah blah blah])
expression.  Not sure how to label it exactly.  Right now you only see
Function Scan on unnest f  (cost=0.00..1.50 rows=100 width=96)

or with VERBOSE, it'll give you some info about the targetlist (the ...
above), but still nothing about the FROM expression.
