A would to process fatal_errors out of checker function - just it is
more robust. This flag has not too sense in plpgsql - but can have a
more sense in other languages.

But I'll think again about flags

note about warnings and errors. Warnings are useless on checker
function level, because they are just shown, but they cannot be
trapped.

maybe result based on tuplestore can be better - I have to look on it.
