can anybody think of of a way to sneak these into dollar quoted
strings for substitution into create function?
would i would ideally like to do is (from inside psql shell)
\set foo 500
create function bar() returns int as
$$
declare
baz int default :foo;
[...]
that would eliminate the need for using the c preprocessor (or similar
tool) in some cases that require substitution in that way and (best of
all) allow psql to grok pre defined constants defined externally.
