PL/pgSQL is different language than SQL/PSM and is little bit nonsenc
adapting them to SQL/PSM. PL/SQL live still - Oracle did some enhancing,
and we can do it too.

Some parts both languages are similar and some enough different. I had
plan start develop new interpret for SQL/PSM two years ago, but I hadn't
knowleages at that time. Situation is different now. If anybody wont to
work on SQL/PSM I will go too. Solution is another pl - pl/psm. We can
adapt gram.y plpgsql to psm
