Well, I guess in a situation like this:
a) SELECT * FROM myfunc1()...
where myfunc1() executes via spi
b) SELECT * FROM myfunc2()...
I'd be interested in being able to detect when outer statement (a)
starts, as well as the fact that it is at nesting level 0. And similarly
it would be nice to be able to detect when statement (b) starts along
with the fact that it is at nesting level 1. But for the moment, I'd be
happy with just the former.
