Re: plpgsql functions organisation

AFAIK, you cannot "package" functions in PostgreSQL, but it is possible to
call a function from within a function.

That being said, I would seriously look at how and why you are writing your
functions
as functions that call other functions are not very efficient.

Also note that PostgreSQL allows you define functions using Python, so that
might be a possible compromise.
