Re: PL/pgSQL, RAISE and error context

Hello,

I just heard that there's going to be a fifth CF for 9.5 so I'm trying 
to gather all the patches I'd like to see in 9.5..

I wonder if a better option would be to add a GUC to control this from 
the server side.  plpgsql.suppress_simple_error_context or such, 
defaulting to false to maintain full backwards compatibility.  That 
could be set to true for development installations and for client 
programs which only care about having all information available, rather 
than readability or aesthetics.

Or is that a stupid idea?  I just think hacking libpq for something like 
this is a huge overkill.
