Yes, this has a benefit just for plpgsql. I can imagine a little bit
different API of plpgsql that allows more direct calls than now. For example
static PLpgSQL_function *
do_compile(FunctionCallInfo fcinfo,
<--><--> HeapTuple procTup,
<--><--> PLpgSQL_function *function,
<--><--> PLpgSQL_func_hashkey *hashkey,
<--><--> bool forValidator)
{
if the function do_compile will be public, and if there will be new
argument - compile_options, then can easily force these options, and is
relatively easy to reuse plpgsql as base for own language.
It can be interesting for plpgsql_check too. But I am not sure if it is too
strong an argument for Tom :)
