It would be VERY nice. I routinely cut and paste an entire function
header to later perform things like ALTER and GRANT so that I don't
have to re-type everything. It would be a huge PITA if I had to then
go and delete any default settings.
Example:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION add(a int, b int
) RETURNS int LANGUAGE ...
GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION add(a int, b int
) TO someuser;
