But if THIS solution is implemented then QUOTE('MyEndMarker') and MyEndMarker become noise words and it seems the parser could just assume to handle everything between CREATE FUNCTION ... AS and LANGUAGE as the delimiters for a function definition.
But as that's so simple I must be missing something.
I was not aware of this either until Tom pointed it out: There syntax allows the LANGUAGE clause to precede the AS clause.
What is more, a quoting mechaninsm is needed in other contexts, although this is the most significant one.
From what I can see Tom's suggestion has the concensus support.
