You seem to be missing the point. The language is either trusted, or it's
not. Modifying the catalogs is not part of a "good flow", ever. In short,
"don't use trusted languages ever". If a specific requirement can only be
implemented using a trusted language maybe there is a reason to use it - in
development and production (if your DBA will let you) - but more likely you
are better off writing an out-of-database client application and doing the
"trusted" stuff there.
