Check the create function reference page, I believe you'd need to add WITH
(iscachable) to the end of the function creation.
iscachable means that the function always returnes the same result when
given the same arguments. It's a prereq to using the function in an
index. If your function doesn't meet those requirements (for example if it
does a query on a table) making an index on that function is a bad idea.
