Well, pl/psm is out there, and might even make it into core someday.
I don't find a lot of attraction in inventing a new language type that's
only marginally different from plpgsql --- that approach doesn't scale
up to handling multiple compatibility issues, at least not unless you
fix them all at the same time.
