There is maybe partial misunderstand of pragma - it is set of nested
configurations used in compile time only. It can be used in execution time
too - it change nothing.

The pragma doesn't build a persistent tree. It is stack of configurations
that allows fast access to current configuration, and fast leaving of
configuration when the change is out of scope.

I don't see any any advantage to integrate pragma to ns or to stmt_block.
But maybe I don't understand to your idea.

I see a another possibility in code - nesting init_block_directives() to
plpgsql_ns_push and free_block_directives() to plpgsql_ns_pop()
