       This is false for internal languages (such as
       <acronym class="acronym">SQL</acronym>) and true for user-defined languages.
       Currently, <span class="application">pg_dump</span> still uses this
       to determine which languages need to be dumped, but this might be
       replaced by a different mechanism in the future.

      <p>
       True if this is a trusted language, which means that it is believed
       not to grant access to anything outside the normal SQL execution
       environment.  Only superusers can create functions in untrusted
       languages.

       For noninternal languages this references the language
       handler, which is a special function that is responsible for
       executing all functions that are written in the particular
       language. Zero for internal languages.
