I hope it can go into 7.4 (could we have a port on 7.3.4 if it's comming?)

Also I was thinking that we could "hide" a log table into a "special"
schema like this:

CREATE TABLE log (
when timestamp,
user text,
table name,
query text,
error text);

So that iff this table exists in a databse, all error reporting would
be logged in this table.

This sounds complicated but IMHO would be unvaluable for debugging help
