The view routine_privileges identifies all
privileges granted on functions to the current user or by the
current user. There is one row for each combination of function,
grantor, and grantee. Privileges granted to groups are identified
in the view role_routine_grants.

with the same name, there is unfortunately no way to distinguish
them. A future version of PostgreSQL
will possibly prohibit having users and groups with the same name.
