Reg. GET STACKED DIAGNOSTICS values to be stored in a single variable

Sir/madam,
While exception handling, we have to write multiple repeated lines in each function to handle the GET STACKED DIAGNOSTICS values. it would be better if all items in the diagnostics may be assigned to a single variable/object.
at least like
GET STACKED DIAGNOSTICS v_state  := RETURNED_SQLSTATE || MESSAGE_TEXT || PG_EXCEPTION_DETAIL  || PG_EXCEPTION_HINT  || PG_EXCEPTION_CONTEXT;

Now we have to declare more than 5 variables to store the GET STACKED DIAGNOSTICS values and pass it to another function to record the error log. if it is in a single variable/object then it will reduce the code.

It can be a good idea, but surely with different syntax. Maybe this statement can be enhanced to use record variable as target, and then the usual syntax for composite value is

GET STACKED DIAGNOSTICS r := RETURNED_SQLSTATE, MESSAGE_TEXT,  PG_EXCEPTION_DETAIL, ...

I am not sure if this mailing list is good for proposing some new features - https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Developer_FAQ
