I think you meant "you have to be a postgresql superuser to create an
untrusted language function". IIRC, a normal user can execute a
function written in an untrusted language (assuming that s/he holds the
proper EXECUTE privileges), but only a cluster superuser can create a
function written in an untrusted language. Otherwise, it would be
difficult to create a trigger in an untrusted language.
