Tom Lane 6317609986 Add control knobs for plpgsql's variable resolution behavior, and make the
default be "throw error on conflict", as per discussions.  The GUC variable
is plpgsql.variable_conflict, with values "error", "use_variable",
"use_column".  The behavior can also be specified per-function by inserting
one of
	#variable_conflict error
	#variable_conflict use_variable
	#variable_conflict use_column
at the start of the function body.

The 8.5 release notes will need to mention using "use_variable" to retain
backward-compatible behavior, although we should encourage people to migrate
to the much less mistake-prone "error" setting.

Update the plpgsql documentation to match this and other recent changes.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
