Tom Lane a2a731d6c9 Test and document the behavior of initialization cross-refs in plpgsql.
We had a test showing that a variable isn't referenceable in its
own initialization expression, nor in prior ones in the same block.
It *is* referenceable in later expressions in the same block, but
AFAICS there is no test case exercising that.  Add one, and also
add some error cases.

Also, document that this is possible, since the docs failed to
cover the point.

Per question from tomás at tuxteam.  I don't feel any need to
back-patch this, but we should ensure we don't break it in future.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
