This presupposes that there is consensus about how the future 
functionality should look like.  This topic has gone through half a 
dozen designs over a few months, and I think it would be premature to 
randomly freeze that discussion now and backport that design.

If a better, more comprehensive design arises for PG18, I think it would 
be pretty easy to either remove backtrace_on_internal_error or just 
internally remap it.
