Hrm. I think this would only be an issue in PL/Py is if the user had the ability
to alter probin. The handler will never directly execute code in prosrc; it
relies on a validator to fill in probin.

Whether a regular user could take advantage of this or not, I'm not sure as I
have yet to test it or to give it much thought.
