Thanks!

One thing I noticed while testing is that if you apply \df+ to an

I think it’s OK. Right now \df+ claims that the source code for an
aggregate function is “aggregate_dummy”; that’s probably more untrue than
saying that its internal name is “aggregate_dummy”. There are several
features of aggregate functions that are always defined the same way by the
creation process; who’s to say they don’t all have a shared dummy internal
name?
