Not that I use JDBC to set up functions, but I can imagine someone wanting to. But personally I could live with a nice enough psql-only fix.

I assume we never came to a final conclusion on how to do CREATE

Many discussions, but no final conclusion in sight, it seems. That \beginliteral stuff is psql centric, where a sql syntax solution is needed.
Oh, is it? Didn't people agree that other frontends (pgAdmin, phpPgAdmin, etc) have solutions for the problem already?
I never agreed that a client solution would be satisfying. While frontends might try to hide some uglyness of the syntax to the user for single functions, editing large scripts with many functions is still suffering from "massive quotes".
