Here are some options:

1. change the type of "log_statement" option from boolean to string, 
with allowed values of "all, mod, ddl, none" with default "none".
2. same as 1. but make boolean true values synonyms for "all" and 
boolean false values synonyms for "none".
3. keep "log_statement" option as now and add a new option 
"log_statement_level" with the same options as 1. but default to "all", 
which will have no effect unless "log_statement" is true.

Also, I assume "modification statements" means insert/update/delete, or 
are we talking about DDL mods (like "alter table")?

Finally, what about functions that have side effects? It would be nice 
to be able to detect the statements to be logged at the syntactic level, 
but it strikes me that that might not be possible.
