Just a question, as I'm not entirely sure of the answer myself, but would it be possible in another one of the languages Postgres supports?  This sounds like a language feature to me, and I know Perl's 'caller' function would do this for instance, the question is if it would be fully functional in pgPerl.

I believe I tried that before and the issue is basically that pl/Perl does not have any visibility outside of the function.  database functions <> perl functions.
