Yeah, that was bothering me too. IIRC, elog is already documented
as being *exactly equivalent* to ereport with a minimal set of
options. I don't think we should break that equivalence. So I
agree with driving this off the stated-or-imputed errcode rather
than which function is called.

Personally I don't see a need for either.
