This is one of the reasons why I created the PostgreSQL CookBook
project. The documentatin of PG function is really small, with barely any
examples.
It looks like either the PG community does not write/use functions or
very few people are willing to take 5 minutes and contribute an example
for a function. So far (after over a week) the CookBook has 8 recipes
posted.
For those wondering, the cookbook project is at
http://www.brasileiro.net/postgres. I plan to post a slew of functions
from the OpenACS project sometime next week.
