I agree that a 'trimmed' query is likely to be useless, but the idea of
printing the query on ERROR is a big win for me: right now I'm logging
_all_ queries on our development machine (and sometimes on our production
machine. when there's trouble) so my logs would get considerably smaller.

A settable trim length would probably be a good idea, I suppose, for
those slinging 'bytea' and toasted texts around.
