Actually, that wasn't quite what my point was there. Even if the error
that is thrown is perfectly safe and was thrown from a known spot in the
core code, elog.c will call ErrorContextCallback functions on the way out,
*before* longjmp'ing back to your code. So, if PL foo executes a SQL
command that includes jsonpath operations, it's possible for PL foo's
error context reporting code to break whatever assumptions you thought
were safe to make.
Admittedly, a wise PL designer would refrain from assuming too much about
what they can get away with doing in an error context callback. But
that very same caution should persuade us not to assume too much about
what actually has happened during error processing.
