This isn't isolated to just PL/pgSQL, just like the ability to create
and call functions isn't. Support for PROCEDUREs in the backend is a
prerequisite to being able to use PL/pgSQL to create procedures. It is
necessary but not sufficient.
Similarly, if we want to support IN/OUT or named parameters, it isn't a
PL/pgSQL issue per se, it is a general one.
