Good point. It seems PL/pgSQL, PL/Perl, PL/Python, PL/Tcl, and SPI
server-side languages all support procedures. I have developed the
attached patch to mention procedures right at the top. I didn't see a
need to mention function "or procedure" throughout the entire document.
Does this seem sufficient?
