You can do something like this:

CREATE DOMAIN current_user_only AS text
   CONSTRAINT current_user_only CHECK (VALUE = CURRENT_USER);

CREATE FUNCTION func(
   calling_user current_user_only DEFAULT CURRENT_USER
) ... SECURITY DEFINER;

The default value will be evaluated in the context of the calling user, 
the constraint forces it to never be set explicitly to something else.

Thus you can use calling_user inside your function.

Best,
