Why? Don't those other languages have support of their own for this?
If we try and make this completely cross-language I fear we'll end up
with something so watered down and obtuse that it'll be useless. I think
it makes much more sense to design something for plpgsql and only
commonize whatever it makes sense to.
What I know, plperl has shared variables. Missing shared functions and
loader for initialisation of variables. I don't agree with partial solution
only for plpgsql. It can generate more limits in future.
