Primary goal is ANSI SQL conformance (for me). Current PL/pgSQL isn't
compatible and it will not be compatible in future (we have different
implementation of SRF and really specific implementation of OUT
parameters). But why artificially create bigger dif between PL/pgSQL
and PL/SQL?

I am sorry, I can't to speak in English gently (because my English is
all else than English), and some my notes are maybe too much hard.
