Actually, there are also people (me, for example :-), who would love to see an
untrusted PlPython to use the full Python power as Pl. So I'd be very happy
with a solution, where I could choose between plpython and plpythonu. But I
don't know if that means having twice the effort compared to only having
plpython _or_ plpythonu.
