How does $subject differ from what we already do? See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/plpgsql-structure.html
particularly this:

Note: There is actually a hidden "outer block" surrounding the
body of any PL/pgSQL function. This block provides the
declarations of the function's parameters (if any), as well as
some special variables such as FOUND (see Section 39.5.5). The
outer block is labeled with the function's name, meaning that
parameters and special variables can be qualified with the
function's name.

regards, tom lane
