I'm not suggesting anything ;-). Just pointing out a constraint that
might affect you guys' choices of where to go with this.
There has been some talk of installing plpgsql by default, in which case
the constraint would vanish anyway. So I wouldn't put a huge amount of
emphasis on it at this stage. I just wanted to point it out so you
wouldn't paint yourselves into a corner without realizing it.
