The point of this feature is to avoid failures because of forward
references in SQL code. A syntax-checking validator in anything but
possibly plpgsql will not even look at SQL code, so a validator for
a different language will only gain pain and confusion by respecting this
parameter. Perhaps it needs to different name altogether, along the lines
of "do not check SQL code in functions".
