Basically, we have no information about what the proper parameters of external 
languages would be.  (We have some pretty good ideas, but that's not the 
same.)  Especially if we override the trusted/untrustedness, we could create 
complete disaster.

Ultimately, as we add more loadable facilities (languages, plugins/modules, 
foreign-data wrappers), we will need a better upgrade mechanism anyway than 
maintaining our own override list of everything in the world.  So let's just 
leave this mechanism restricted to the built-in languages for now.
