Yeah, I'm still thinking it's better to implement this feature
incrementally. Given we're closing to feature freeze, I think it's
unlikely to get the whole feature into PG17 since there are still many
design discussions we need in addition to what Torikoshi-san pointed
out. The feature like "ignore errors" or "logging errors" would have
higher possibilities. Even if we get only these parts of the whole
"error table" feature into PG17, it will make it much easier to
implement "error tables" feature.

Seems promising. I'll look at the patch.
