What do people think?  I thought we needed a way to turn this off,
especially if the queries can be large.  Because ERROR is above LOG in
server_min_messages, I don't think that is a way to fix it.

I thought it was good you could merge them, but now I remember why I
didn't --- they take different args.

You can't do the hack.

I think the second, passing an arg to say whether it is server or
client, will do the trick, though now you need an error one too.  I
guess you have to use #define and set it, or pass a string down with the
GUC variable and test that with strcmp.
