I remember going through a lot of pain getting this done "right"
in pg-python[pl/py].
SELECT it_blows_up();
ERROR: function's "main" raised a Python exception

[public.it_blows_up()]
IIRC, I unconditionally print the "[public.it_blows_up()]" part iff it's
not an ERROR. If it is an ERROR, I let the traceback rendering part of the code
handle it on the PL's entry point exit. It was really tricky to do this because I
was rendering the traceback *after* the error_context_stack had been called.
