Note also that the current behavior *is* what people want; at least,
we have seen no field complaints about the lack of first-level CONTEXT
for RAISE notices, and plenty of complaints from people who think
there's still too much cruft automatically attached to RAISE output.
If anything, what's been requested is a way to suppress even more
context, not a policy decision to force more of it.
