> Avoid taking a new snapshot for an immutable simple expression in plpgsql.

Hmm.  I think the real issue here is that commit 84f5c2908 did
not cover the "simple expression" code path in plpgsql.  We
need to re-establish an outer snapshot when the next thing
that happens after COMMIT is a simple expression, too.

In this view, 73b06cf8 just removed code that was masking the
lack of a snapshot during the evaluation of the simple expr
itself.  However, we'd still have had a problem if the simple
expr returned a toast pointer that we had to dereference after
returning (and popping that snapshot).  So I'm thinking
back-patch to v11, as before.

            regards, tom lane
