Cute.

Perhaps it could be shown in CONTEXT, like so:

| ERROR:  deadlock detected
| DETAIL:  Process 3468 waits for ShareLock on transaction 451; blocked by process 4068.
|         Process 4068 waits for ShareLock on transaction 450; blocked by process 3468.
| STATEMENT:  UPDATE test SET i = i WHERE i = 2;
| CONTEXT: process 3468: UPDATE test SET i = i WHERE i = 1;

I think it's useful to show the PID of each statement, for the case
where there are more than two processes deadlocked.
