I don't think that just concatenating those strings would make for a
pleasant API. More sensible, perhaps, to have a separate function
that returns a record. Or we could redefine the existing function
that way, but I suspect that "just the primary error" will be a
principal use-case.

Being able to get the SQLSTATE is likely to be interesting too.
