I see these as being two are different things.  There *is* a need for a 
full-blown static analyzer for PL/PgSQL, but I don't think it needs to 
be in core.  However, there seems to be a number of pitfalls we could 
warn the user about with little effort in core, and I think those are 
worth doing.
