Well, if I were designing a new procedural SQL extension language, I
wouldn't base it on the bastard child of ADA and SQL89. I would come up
with something new. One of the critical features such a new language
would have would be the ability to dynamically generate queries
*without* using string manipulation and EXECUTE.

Otherwise, improvements to PL/pgSQL amount to the proverbial porcine
makeover.
