You can do that today, as long as you don't mind schema-qualifying
uses of the function:

regression=# create function pg_temp.tfunc(int) returns int as 
regression-# $$ select $1 + 1 $$ language sql;
CREATE FUNCTION
regression=# select pg_temp.tfunc(42);
 tfunc 
-------
    43
(1 row)

Without the qualification, the function won't be found, even if
you put pg_temp into your search path explicitly.  That's intentional
because of the risk of trojan horses ...

                        regards, tom lane
