I think the reasoning behind this patch is sound. However, I would like
to raise a couple of small questions:
1) Is there a reason for the fmt string not being const char*? You
changed it for pg_log_v(), but not for pg_log() and pg_fatal().
2) Allowing PG_FATAL to be passed to pg_log() seems weird, but I
don't feel strongly about that.
Other than that, the patch looks good to me.
Regards,
Marko Tiikkaja
