I've seen some example code on the EnterpriseDB website using their SPL
language, and it doesn't seem to be handled like "just another PL". The
function body does not look at all like quoted strings, as in our
regular PLs. I don't know how they did it, but I don't think they added
support for the whole language to the main parser.
