Hrm. Well, as a DBA, I'd *really* like to be able to make some things available 
from within a Safe container, such as Devel::NYTProf::PgPLPerl or the 
PostgreSQL::PLPerl::Call module that Tim's working on. Right now I can do that 
by hacking warnings.pm directly or by the method you  figured out a few weeks 
ago, which isn't really all that nasty.

I'm not sure that Tim's interface is the best approach to giving DBAs the 
ability to do this from within PostgreSQL, but I'm hard-pressed to come up with 
a better interface. But I do think it should be allowed.

Best,

David
