I agree.  This is a perfectly legal use of nested declaration scopes,
so it would be totally inappropriate to complain about it in normal
use of a plpgsql function.  On the other hand, it would probably be
sane and useful for CHECK FUNCTION to flag any case where an inner
declaration shadows an outer-scope name (not only the specific case
of topmost block vs function parameter).
