selective statement logging - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

The TODO list contains this item which I said I would look at:
 Allow logging of only data definition(DDL), or DDL and modification 
statements

The trouble I see is that we currently do statement logging before we 
have examined the query string at all, in the code shown below from 
src/backend/tcop/postgres.c.

I guess I could construct one or more regexes to examine the query 
string, although that might affect performance a bit (of course, I would 
precompile the patterns).

Any other ideas on how to proceed?

cheers
