It's not currently possible to access the SQL used in a dynamic PL/pgSQL
statement using a PL/pgSQL plugin.

In src/pl/plpgsql/src/pl_exec.c's exec_stmt() we call each dynamic
statement type, evaluate the SQL and free memory again before the plugin
gains control again.

It seems simple to attach querystr to PLpgSQL_execstate and free it
after the plugin has seen it. The difference in lifetime of the memory
allocation is very small.

Would a patch to make this simple change be acceptable? It would need to
be backpatched to 8.1 also?
