Can we use pgScript for such flow controls?
http://pgscript.projects.postgresql.org/INDEX.html

I'm not sure pgScript can be used in pgAdmin already, but if we support
it both psql and pgAdmin, the scripting syntax will be a defact standard
because they are the most major user interfaces to postgres. I think it is
not good to add another "dialect" that can be used only in psql.
