Well, that's a generic problem with all our "helpful" NOTICEs.
ROLLBACK is far from being the only sinner.  ISTM if you don't
like log bloat, the answer is to attack that head-on, not invent
yet another nonstandard spelling for ROLLBACK.

Some ideas to think about:

1. Invent SET variables to control the minimum elog severity level
that gets into the logs or sent to the client, rather than hard-wiring
these levels at DEBUG and NOTICE respectively.

2. Divide existing NOTICEs into more than one severity level.  We have
a lot of messages like 'CREATE TABLE will create a sequence' that might
be helpful for development but are just plain nuisances in production
applications.  It would be nice to turn off the "picky" notices at will.
#1 would take care of this if they had a lower severity level than other
notices.
