Your idea, as I understand it, is that for logs at severity levels lower than ERROR, we can always emit the context, because it's not necessary. But I'm not sure that's right: some people might find that context helpful. If, as Marko proposes, we add an explicit option, then everyone can choose the behavior that is right for them.
I am not sure, if explained it well. I would to emit context for ERROR and higher by default. And I would not to emit context for any less than ERROR by default (I am not sure about WARNING level).
But it can be changed by some option in RAISE statement like Marko proposes - possible to change by GUC globally, because it doesn't change a behave of application.
For current behave I have a problem with ERROR level in plpgsql where the context is missing now. On second hand I am thinking so current behave is ok for NOTICE level .
I am not against to any new option in RAISE statement.
If there is some collision between me and Marko, then it is in opinion what have to be default behave for NOTICE level. I strongly prefer don't show context there. But I can accept some global switch too.
