What is stopping anyone from claiming that their favorite diagnostic item is also a relatively often task and request it to become an automatic variable? Where does it stop?
There is only two possible fields - ROW_COUNT and RESULT_OID. Result Oid is not almost unused today. So stop is ROW_COUNT
It's not like PL/pgSQL is the king of brevity. Creating inconsistent and arbitrary warts to save a few characters does not appear appealing.
