It seems we would need one additional callback for both approaches like:

->error(severity, format, ...)

For both to avoid having to draw in elog.c.

Otherwise it looks sensible although it has a more minimal approach (which
might or might not be a good thing). The one thing I definitely like is that
nearly all of it is tried and true code...
