I've dropped that suggestion and is instead in favour of a keyword
like STRICT, ONE ROW, SINGLETON or [1] like suggested by others. Any
keyword or syntax will do fine, but I would prefer STRICT.

You misunderstood, I meant plpgsql warnings, that you currently can
turn into errors by setting things in the config file. Such as
shadowing of variables.
