The locality in this moment is not too important for me. But I prefer solution that doesn't looks too strange, and is possible just with change plpgsql parser.

Well, I haven't really studied this, but I would assume a
statement-level pragma would look like an annotation of some kind on
that particular statement, e.g.

PRAGMA plpgsql_check (magic pavel stuff goes here) SELECT ...

Rather than a separate statement:

PRAGMA plpgsql_check (magic pavel stuff goes here);
SELECT ...

This might be the wrong idea, I'm not an expert on this or anything.
