Of this, frames 17-22 are part of the regular execution of most queries.

Frames 13-16 are PL/PgSQL's setup and entry into the top level function.

Frame 1 through 12 are execution of the array lookup `PERFORM` query by PL/PgSQL, including the SPI calls, executor, etc.

Frame 0 is the array lookup.
