Howdy,
Anyone ever thought to try to add $subject to PL/pgSQL? Someone left a [comment][] on the PGXN blog about how this is a supported syntax for using named parameters on Oracle. The context is to avoid conflicts between variable names and column names by function-qualifyin the former and table-qualifying the latter.

Would this be do-able in PL/pgSQL?
Best,
David
