The fact that it's named plpgsql.warnings already clearly documents that this 
only affects plpgsql. But whether a particular warning is emitted during 
compilation or during execution it largely irrelevant, I think. For example, if 
we called this compiler_warning, we'd couldn't add a warning which triggers 
when SELECT .. INTO ingores excessive rows.
