In this case I have not strong opinion. Similarity with SQL/PSM isn't
my main argument. I see, so immutable IN arguments are typical problem
for beginners. Internally arguments are not immutable - so mutable
arguments should help to people who start with PostgreSQL.

But I accept, so this increase difference between plpgsql and pl/sql
what is wrong too.
