Alvaro Herrera pointed out that pg_read_file requires superuser access which
these users won't have so revoking access to the function code should be
possible.

Joshua D. Drake suggested revoking pg_proc but that isn't the source code,
it just has the definition of the functions.

If it isn't a feature today, what table has the source code in it? Maybe I
can revoke that.
