This patch is marked as Ready for Committer in the CommitFest
application. Here is my attempt to summarize the votes upthread:
Tom Lane: plpgsql RAISE is sufficient; we don't need this.
Pavel Stehule: could be replaced by custom function, but not against it.
Robert Haas: plpgsql RAISE is sufficient; we don't need this.
Jim Nasby: A generic wrapper around RAISE is not trivial, so +1.
Andres Freund: I've written this function many times, so let's have it in core.
David Fetter: I've written this function like 20 times, we should have it.
I'm only -0 on this patch, so I won't yell and scream if some other
committer is prepared to step up and get this committed, but I'm not
excited about doing it myself on the strength of a weak consensus in
which I'm not a participant. Any takers? I recommend that we allow
this patch 30 days to attract an interested committer, and, if nobody
volunteers in that time, that we mark it Rejected for lack of
interest.
