I'm not a huge fan of this patch, as previously noted, but I certainly agree that if we're going to do it, we should ignore a null argument, not print out the word "NULL". Who would ever want that behavior?
Probably it was my request. I don't like to using NULL as value, that should be ignored. The "hint" is clean, there NULL can be ignored, but what about DETAIL or MESSAGE?
I am strong in my opinion about PLpgSQL RAISE statement behave, but on second hand, proposed function should not be 100% same as RAISE stmt. More we can simply add a parameter like "ignore_nulls"
