Note that there's nothing stopping a DBA from putting new entries in
pg_pltemplate within his installation.  Peter's points are valid reasons
why we should be wary of putting entries into our distribution --- it's
hard to control this sort of stuff over the timescale of a PG major
release.  But per-installation it doesn't seem unreasonable.
