Not sure what you think is being "introduced" here.  It already works just
like any other random SQL command:

regression=# do $$
regression$# begin
regression$#   raise notice 'outer';
regression$#   do $i$ begin raise notice 'inner'; end $i$;
regression$# end $$;
NOTICE:  outer
NOTICE:  inner
DO

While certainly that's a bit silly as-is, I think it could have practical
use if the inner DO invokes a different PL.
