I'm worried it's not really granular enough.
regexp-on-text would also have the advantage of being able to filter
stuff coming from stored procedures or such as well - without having
to invent a whole bunch of SQLSTATEs to put in the stored procedures
(consider the usecase when somebody else wrote the stored procedures
and the DBA wants to limit the logging).
We could have two parameters of course - log_filter_sqlstate and
log_filter_re or something like that...
