I don't think that analogy holds water at all, since plpgsql is not
C and doesn't emulate C's syntax very closely. Even if you accept
the analogy, what we're discussing here is a semicolon after the end
of a function body, which C does not expect you to write --- so the
analogy favors omitting it, not requiring it.
