I will make the syntax change.

Since my understanding is that, absent contrary documentation,
plpgSQL follows SQL, I resist the idea of yet another comment.
Better would be establishing a SPoT, tagging it, and tagging
various forms of derived info as quotes, code samples, etc. or,
at worst, logically dependent. This more form of commenting
could allow linting processes to support its use and check
its accuracy.

Absent that ...
