get/set functions where?

I don't think that really makes sense. I would expect schema variables 
to be exposed to a function as variables or attributes, either in the 
global namespace for that PL, or as an attribute of some object (ie the 
plpy object in plpython).

I certainly wouldn't expect this patch to do that for all existing PLs, 
but I think it's important to do it for one PL besides plpgsql to make 
sure there's no gotchas.
