This does not dump the extension, because the extension is not within
the schema "superschema". (It definitely isn't given your creation
command, but pg_dump doesn't consider that extensions are inside schemas
anyway, for the purposes of options such as "-n".) So on reload, the
user function fails; it's referencing a function that doesn't exist
in the new database. That's not a bug.

BTW, the reason the unaccent function isn't marked immutable is that its
behavior can be changed with ALTER TEXT DICTIONARY. This wrapper
function doesn't eliminate that risk (in fact it adds some new ones),
so it doesn't look very safe to me.
