I'm impressed that these features are so clean and simple. I wasn't
expecting that. I have very few review comments.

I vote in favour of applying these patches at the end of this CF, end of 11/17.
* Procedures
* Transaction control in PL/pgSQL (only)

That will give us 3 months to discuss problems and find solutions,
then later we can commit PL/Python, PL/perl and PL/tcl once we know
where the dragons are hiding.

If we delay, we will end up with some weird gotcha that needs changing
in the next release.
