already present in PostgreSQL (binary objects, SQL functions), some
effort to also
make the syntax conforming to the standards should be worthy ...
Thank you,

I am interested in the functions I write by hand as an application
developer; pg_dump
may dump the functions any way it finds suitable (although I would still
prefer the
conforming form).

I know, especially that the effort to understand the project is
comprehensive. That
is why I was concerned about agreement.
The DELIMITER artefact is also misplaced in my opinion; what is the use for
it ?
The BEGIN ... END syntax is pretty clear ...
DELIMITER is just to keep the client-side parsing / input simple ?
For other languages the string literal syntax is ok, my issue only concerns
LANGUAGE SQL functions
Thank you,
