If that's okay, why didn't we adopt that approach for the mainline
errmsg processing? Or more to the point: I think it's a seriously bad
idea that ereports in PLs need to be coded differently from those in
the core backend, especially with respect to a relatively-little-used
feature. Want to make a side bet on how long till the first bug gets
committed?
