I've seen "WITH function" syntax in Oracle (here's an example:

As of v11, DO blocks can do transactions. I think this will meet your needs.
A loop that starts at point X in the code and terminates at point Y has to
know how to jump back in the file (if there even is a file!) to point X and
re-interpret commands as it makes it's way back through the "file"

You wouldn't memorize them. You'd discover them with tab completion.

"local_routine_name" and "remote_routine_spec" were my own paraphrasings of
A few months ago, I was researching ways for formalizing calling functions
on one postgres instance from another. RPC, basically. In doing so, I
stumbled across an obscure part of the the SQL Standard called ROUTINE
MAPPING, which is exactly what I'm looking for.
The syntax specified is, roughly:
