Have a look at the m4 macro processor

changequote({,})dnl
define({func_body},{$$begin
        raise exception 'I barfed on line #__line__';
end$$})dnl

create function some_func()
returns whatever
as func_body
language plpgsql;

This can be useful sometimes... but may ADD to your debugging
headaches if not used artfully!
