Really? That's almost certainly NOT okay. As an example, if you
have a problem with a new value loaded from postgresql.conf during
SIGHUP processing, throwing ERROR will cause the postmaster to exit.
I wouldn't be too surprised if there are isolated cases where people
didn't understand what they were doing and wrote that, but that
needs to be fixed not emulated.
