May I ask, what improvements of PL/pgSQL would you personally be most
excited about,
if you or someone else would have unlimited resources to hack on it?

You as a professional PostgreSQL consultant obviously have a lot of more
contact than me with other companies who make heavy use of PL/pgSQL.
I'm assuming your bet on these proposed changes in conflict you talk about
are based on things you've picked up IRL from companies you've been
working with.
What would you say are the top most commonly proposed changes
from companies that make heavy use of PL/pgSQL, and which of those are
in conflict?
