*Built-in* functions are just as good as extra syntax, as far as I'm

Functions which require installing plpgsql, reading the docs, creating a
function, pasting it in, and saving it are NOT as good; they are
unlikely to ever be used, except by the people who didn't really need
them in the first place.
