This was discusses extensively in the archives about a month ago.
Actually it is possible to 'hide' the source code so that a database
user can't view it (or anything else) in psql by manipulating system
schema permissions.
Regardless of your philosophical standpoint, many larger organizations
will feel uncomfortable with having unprivileged users having access to
all the database procedure source code.
