Sadly, we don't have standards-conformant SQL/PSM. Right now, we have a
lot of different languages for functions, none of them mandated by SQL,
and there is no reason to create a syntax exception for any of them.
I am sure that when we get SQL/PSM support, the interest in getting
standards-conformant procedure creation statements is going to get a lot
higher.
PL/pgSQL is not SQL/PSM.
