In that case, +1 for your proposed changes.

At first, like Florian, I found the idea of a SET LOCAL ever
persisting beyond a function astonishing, but that's because I was
approaching the term LOCAL from a programming frame of mind, not an
SQL one.  Once you appreciate that LOCAL means local to the
transaction, rather than local to the programming context, it all
makes sense.
