Nope. When Tom upgraded the error handling, he changed almost
everything to ereport(), but in the places where there's a violation of
expected conditions, he retained elog(). We don't provide special error
code, nor there is space for errhints etc.
Those unexpected conditions I thought we could just abort the
transaction tree; but maybe we have to close the backend as Manfred and
Tom say. I don't think there's space for PANIC though (unless we
suspect shared state corruption ... is that checked for anywhere? I
haven't looked.)
