Oh, good point.  I hadn't thought about function bodies being displayed.
Here is an example:

	test=> \pset format wrapped
	Output format is wrapped.
	test=> \pset columns 14
	Target width for "wrapped" format is 14.
	test=> select prosrc from pg_proc where proname = 'xx';
	    prosrc
	--------------
	 SELECT  'a':
	 :text
	 WHERE   1 =
	 1
	(1 row)
