Yea, that'd be good.  Trying to help people new to postgres write their
first patches I found that ereport is very confusing to them - largely
because the syntax doesn't make much sense. Made worse by the compiler
error messages being terrible in many cases.

Not sure there's much we can do without changing ereport's "signature"
though :(

Regards,

Andres
