Until now I have been content to have the superuser CREATE FUNCTION...LANGUAGE 'C'
because I noticed that ordinary users could not:

ERROR: permission denied for language c

I would like to allow a user to create C language functions, but can't
find just which privilege I need to grant. The user owns the
database, by the way, but still can't create the function. The user only
needs to create C functions for her own database(s).

Only super users can create c functions, and for very - very good reason.

Any user with access to writing C functions can do anything, not
limited to his own database.
