The question is still valid, though it's better put in your words - do
we want to refactor the existing compiler or write a separate one ?
About putting the information about the function into a persistent
memory context - I was planning on bypassing it and it can be easily
bypassed with both implementations, since plpgsql_compile won't be
called even if we do the refactoring. When I talked about modifying
current compiler I was talking about do_compile only (that's why I
talked about the heap tuple). It's true that we don't need most of the
PLpgSQL_function struct for anonymous code block and there might be
other advantages in using separate compiler and exec functions for this.
