Fair enough.  I'm still not convinced we're doing anything other than
complicating what ought to be a simple matter.  It is just a fact that
logging tracing messages in PL/pgsql functions is a pain in the butt
right now in some situations because you get a huge number of CONTEXT
lines that you don't want.  Can we agree on some solution to that
problem without over-engineering this to infinity?
