Thank you so much for your suggestion. I was really excited to find a
generic term for Functions and Procedures, but "routine" also includes
aggregation functions which I had excluded from my feature (see Postgres
Glossary here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/glossary.html#GLOSSARY-ROUTINE).
I had decided not to include aggregate functions when I designed my patch
because I thought most users wouldn't expect them in the result file. Was I
wrong?
Have a nice day,
Lætitia
