It's quick and easy, especially when there's thousands of error codes.
Ideally, the pg_error app and the error code documentation should be
automatically generated...
You could have a built-in function: pg_print_error(text) returns text, then
the pg_error command line program could just call that, plus the user could
check up errors from within postgresql as well...
