I think it would make more sense to write the commit message in terms of
the DDL commands that now report error position, than the C functions.
Such a list of commands does not need to be exhaustive; a
representative-enough sample probably suffices.

Once upon a time, ereport() was a simpler macro that did not
use variadic arguments. Back then, the list of functions embedded in it
(errcode, errmsg etc) were forced to be in an additional level of
parentheses so that the macro would work at all (IIRC failure to do that
resulted in strange compile-time problems). This is why a majority of
code is written in the style with those parens. But commit e3a87b4991cc
changed ereport to use __VA_ARGS__, so the auxiliary functions are
actual arguments to errstart() -- which means that the parentheses
you're adding here are unnecessary and discouraged. Just add the
parser_errposition() call and it'll be fine.
