And in the same vein, should they be called inside a transaction,
or not? What if they fail?
I don't see any reason whatsoever that we couldn't just document this
as a Perl feature not supported in plperl. If you do something like
creating threads inside plperl, we're going to give you the raspberry
when you complain about it breaking. END blocks can perfectly well
go into the same category.
