All,

I'm noticing some inconsistent and (I believe) undesirable behavior on
RAISE INFO.

If you call a function, and it posts progress reports using RAISE INFO,
then you get the INFO statements plain back to the client.  However, if
that function calls another function, then you also get a three-line
CONTEXT message ... and if the functions are recursively called, the
CONTEXT message will emit 3 lines for every level of the call stack.

This seems like reasonable behavior for RAISE EXCEPTION but not RAISE
INFO.  It pretty much makes INFO notices useless as end-user feedback if
you have functions calling other functions because of the amount of
garbage on the screen.  Is this a bug?
