I didn't searched for, but I guess all of the end-side callback of all
begin-end type callbacks are not called on exception. Additional
PG_TRY level wouldn't be acceptable for performance reasons.

What we (pg_hint_plan people) want is any means to know that the
top-level function is exited, to reset function nest level. It would
be simpler than calling end callback at every nest level.
