I don't think that argument really applies to this case, because the
complaint was about not being sure if plpgsql is installed. If it
isn't, you can hardly use a plpgsql DO block to fix it.
(Is anyone up for revisiting the perennial topic of whether to install
plpgsql by default? Andrew's argument does suggest that DO might offer
a new consideration in that tradeoff.)
