What? No. The whole point of SQL is that it's set-based and can modify 
multiple rows at once. Hobbling it specifically for functions seems 
fundamentally flawed. Especially for what we purport to be a core 
PostgreSQL language.

I... what? I could see coming up with a better exception handling 
mechanism for escalating messages. But you're talking about taking a 
core element of PostgreSQL (warnings) and simply ripping them out so 
plpgsql2 loses even that small functionality.

I'm sure you've put a lot of thought into this, but you're not the only 
person using plpgsql or any, however ambitious, potential replacement.
