I had pragmas implemented in the original autonomous transactions patch
(https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/659a2fce-b6ee-06de-05c0-c8ed6a01979e@2ndquadrant.com).However, the difference
thereis that the behavior is lexical, specific
to plpgsql, whereas here you are really just selecting run time
behavior. So a GUC, and also something that could apply to other
places, should be considered.
