You mean hardwire the names "plpgsql_language_handler", etc, as being
ones that should return such-and-such instead of OPAQUE?
I suppose that's a possible approach, but it strikes me as mighty
ugly.
If we were going to do such a thing, I'd also want to see it force
the shlib path to "$libdir". Does that strike you as impossibly
crocky, or a reasonable workaround for our past sins?
