Npgsql is not a procedural language. In this list it looks to be grouped
under that, which is incorrect. It's a database driver.

Furthermore I think talking about plperlNG is confusing, since it is the
same code that is called plperl in the release package.  Also wasn't
plphp released for 7.4 ?  Same with pljava really... I think this should
be reworded to something like

    "PostgreSQL has beefed up several areas of its language
interoperability including the procedural languages PL/Perl, PL/PHP and
PL/Java, and the .net data provider Npgsql."

Did anyone read my suggested paragraph on this?   I still stick by that
wording.
