There is space for future version. I think for todo for plpgsql

o rethrow exception in exception handler block
o user defined exceptions
o mapping user's exception on system's exception

My previous mail isn't correct. I need somewhere specify errmsg text, and
ofcourse params.

???

declare myexcept exception = 'xxxxx';
begin;
assoc(myexcept, 'my message % % %');
raise myexcept, param1, param2, ...

default level of user exception is exception.
