I think this is a good idea, but the new error messages need more work.
Have a look at the message style guidelines please,
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/error-style-guide.html

Particularly I think you need to keep the original errmsg() and add the
new messages as errdetail().  (I notice that there's the slight problem
that the error messages are different for the different callers.)

Also, please use context diffs.
