I'm not really sure that I like the design of this patch in any way.
But leaving that aside, trace_log seems like a poor choice of name,
because it's got two words telling you what kind of thing we are doing
(tracing, logging) and zero words describing the nature of the thing
being traced or logged (the wire protocol communication with the
client). A tracing facility for the planner, or the executor, or any
other part of the system would have an equally good claim on the same
name. That can't be right.
