Consistency? We don't need no steenking consistency!
Personally I'd prefer to remove the pl prefix from the other
subdirectories of src/pl/ ... it seems redundantly wasted excessive
typing ;-) And I'd have preferred to flatten out the src/ subdirectory
of src/pl/[pl]pgsql, which is likewise redundant and inconsistent with
the other PLs.
However, it's fairly painful to make any such change without losing
the CVS version history for the moved files, which is Not a Good Thing.
Or breaking our ability to reconstitute old releases from the CVS tree,
which is Much Worse. So I'm afraid we're stuck with this historical
mischance.
