That presumes the opposite case, when you only want to see system
functions.
I hesitate to suggest this, but maybe an acceptable compromise is
\df -> old behavior
\dfS -> only system functions
\dfU -> only user functions
I do not actually believe that either of the latter really makes
sense in combination with a pattern, but if people are going to
insist on seeing a misleading view of the system state, let's at
least make it symmetric.
