I think it would make more sense to model it on the filtering letters
available for \df:
\df[anptw][S+] [FUNCPTRN [TYPEPTRN ...]]
list [only agg/normal/procedure/trigger/window] functions
I just noticed that tab completion after e.g. \dft does not take the
function type restriction into account, so the solution for \ef<letters>
should be made to work for both. I wonder if it would even be possible
to share the tab completion filtering conditions with the actual
implementation of \df.
Also, I notice that \df only tab completes functions (i.e. not
procedures), although it actually returns all routines.

I'm happy to assist with and review at least the tab completion parts of
this effort.
