You mean something like:
postgres=# begin
...
end;
?

I second that. We support that in EDB for Oracle compatibility, and it's
a pain the ass. You need to call the PL/pgSQL parser on the query string
just to figure out where it ends. And worse, psql needs to know about it
too, so you need a minimal version of the PL/pgSQL parser in the client too.
Something like
DO $$ begin ...; end $$;
gives 90% of the usability with 10% of the trouble.
