You can use fmgr hook, and hold some variable as gate if your function
my_func_extended can be called

https://pgpedia.info/f/fmgr_hook.html

With this option, the execution of my_func_extended will be faster, but all
other execution will be little bit slower (due overhead of hook). But the
code probably will be more simpler than processing callback stack.

plpgsql_check uses fmgr hook, and it is working well - just there can be
some surprises, when the hook is activated in different order against
function's execution, and then the FHET_END can be executed without related
FHET_START.
