There are not consensus about final semantic - some people prefer
sprintf like, some others PostgreSQL RAISE NOTICE like. so I'll keep
it outside. I looking on source of pstcollection - missing
documentation, missing regress test. I never rebuild it outside
PostgreSQL source tree - so it could be problem. Now: copy src to
contrib directory, make, make install - like standard contrib module.

If you would to add some doc or notes, please, add it.
