Well, we could do something like function_with_opt_argtypes?

Fixed.

I think you mean
set search_path to public,popo;

Your example works correctly if you set the schema path correctly.
However, the error message is misleading with the parentheses. I have
updated that to create a different error message for this case, and
added a test case.

Subject: [PATCH v2] Allow referring to functions without arguments when unique
In DDL commands referring to an existing function, allow omitting the
argument list if the function name is unique in its schema, per SQL
standard.
This uses the same logic that the regproc type uses for finding
functions by name only.
