I though about it before and I prefer variant with possibility to enter
message as keyword parameter. The advantage of this solution is simple
usage dictionary value as parameter with possibility to set all fields.

We can check collision and we can raise a error. Same technique is used in
plpgsql:

postgres=# do $$ begin raise warning 'kuku' using message='NAZDAR'; end; $$;
ERROR: RAISE option already specified: MESSAGE
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function inline_code_block line 1 at RAISE
postgres=#

What do you think?
