It's ... hm
I have the feeling that even complicated and boxed queries are faster or can
be optimized by the planer than any PLpgsql. Isn't there a motule that has
to be invoked?

I'm capable to learn.

PL/pgSQL might be more efficient than you think -- see the Overview
in the PL/pgSQL documentation for more information about how it
works. I'd suggest making the function work first, and only then
worry about whether it's fast enough.
