New versions of languages who change too much in a new version are
doomed to fail. There are many such examples in history.
Completely new languages are however not doomed to fail.
So when we are talking about a plpgsql2, the changes should come from
all the collective wisdome we have gained during the 16 years of its
existence.
When we are talking about a completely new language, then of course we
should start from scratch we don't need to base it on any single
language if we don't want to.
