I don't doubt that, but I just have a stomach ache with this entire
notion of having a hard-coded exception list of the sort "if the user
requires this, do this instead". Why don't we just put all PLs that we
know of into pg_language to begin with, revoke the permissions, and
just let CREATE LANGUAGE fail when the dump is restored? (The dump
should restore the permissions, shouldn't it?) At least that would let
you alter the "template" using existing means.
