Propably I have too bad english. I wrote it. I am sorry. Any warning
handlers are executed after statements. With exit handler it executes
handler statement and leave block. That's all.

I understand. Warning infrastructure is implemented in plpgpsm code now.
There is one interest of hook - compatibility. I can simply set if warning
is processed on server side or is sended to client. This decision depends on
application (not only application, it depend on used language).
Do you thing API like?
ErrorData *edata;
push_catch_warning_state(); // new handler and set catching to on
.... EXEC statement ....
if ((edata = catched_warning() != NULL)
{
if (I know warning) process it; clean_warning();
else distribute_warning(); // doesn't mean directly sending to client, maybe
others handlers wait for it
}
pop_catch_warning_state(); // prev. handler and set catch to prev. value
