There is deliberately not a way to override (other than using a
different name for the PL). One of the points of this facility is to
fix up broken PL definitions being imported from old dump files, so
believing what the CREATE LANGUAGE command says is exactly what we
don't want.
This will definitely be more palatable with a system catalog that you
could alter, of course. Still, I don't see that there's any big
problem. For instance, if you think you might want a validator later,
you can set up a no-op validator procedure today, and then the template
doesn't need to change when you make the validator do something.
Similarly, you could future-proof yourself against adding a trusted (or
untrusted) variant by putting in some stubs now.
