No.  The DECLARE is a block nested within the function,
and the parameter is declared at function scope.
So this is a standard case of an inner declaration masking
an outer one.

Possibly plpgsql_check can be set to complain about such cases,
but they're legal according to the language specification.

yes, it does 

(2024-07-07 09:27:14) postgres=# select * from plpgsql_check_function('test_function');

but looks so there are false alarms related to using an alias. It is interesting so I have not any report about this issue, so probably using aliases is not too common today.

I was blind, plpgsql_check is correct
