It seems to me that a client-side facility would be unlikely to do the
right things, because it has not got enough information to know which
messages came from plpgsql RAISE commands. Moreover, it's not apparent
that a one-size-fits-all approach is suitable anyhow: it may be that
some RAISEs don't need context traceback while others could use it.
Now that we have syntax for adding miscellaneous options to RAISE
statements, what I suggest we consider is a RAISE option that suppresses
all context lines for the message, perhaps
RAISE NOTICE 'fee, fi, fo, fum' USING context = false;
