For other PL is named notation transparent (like defaults). Problem is
only with PL/pgSQL. I spend some time with integration main SQL parser
to PL/pgSQL and this is little bit worse then I thougs. The code is
more ugly - we have to swith between two lexers and problem is with
$1.x elements. I hope, so I'll send patch to next commitfest. Then we
can choise between Steve's patch or my patch.
