Well, if you can run a stored procedure automatically when Postgres starts, that
looks like a necessary step to being able to implement an entire application
inside Postgres.

Starting Postgres is running the application. The analogy is that Postgres is
the VM/language interpreter and the stored procedure is the script to run.

Now if said stored procedure has access to features that collectively let it be
computationally complete, including arbitrary user I/O, then you're done.
