What's an XS module? If it's a shared object dynamically
linked - don't care too much - PL/Tcl cannot either.

If a function works from a query, the same function must work
too in a rule because the rewriter only mangles up parsetrees
so when executing, they are invoked from a query. Or did you
mean triggers?

What ya think where the skeleton for PL/pgSQL came from :-) I
just wrote my own SQL scripting bytecode compiler and
executor and placed them into the PL/Tcl sources.
Congrats again - great work - move on.
