Well, i already noted that in the "named and mixed notation" thread 
actually two patches were involved, see 
<http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-rrreviewers/2009-07/msg00016.php>.

Since Steve's changes were so small, i considered it to be an "extension" 
to Pavels patch, without treating it separately to commit. In my opinion it 
wouldn't make sense to commit those changes to plpgsql _without_ having 
Pavels functionality. I have to admit that i saw Tom's complaint about 
making AS a special keyword in plpgsql, but decided to leave the decision 
wether we want to commit this or not up to a committer. I took the efforts 
to get the attached patches there in a reviewable state then instead.

Please note that Steve's suggestion is linked into the commitfest since 
2009-05-21, too.
