The validator is passed the function's OID, not the language's OID.
See the documentation for CREATE LANGUAGE, as well as the "Procedural
Languages" chapter:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-createlanguage.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/xplang.html

Note that my idea to use the validator function was just a brainstorm,
not thoroughly tested or thought out. Maybe one of the developers
will comment about the wisdom of (ab)using it the way I suggested.
