Or is that a stupid idea?  I just think hacking libpq for something like
this is a huge overkill.


I don't think so only plpgsql  solution is satisfactory idea. There are
some mix plpgsql / plperl ... application - and it isn't possible to remove
error context from only one language.

Yeah, not in libpq it isn't. Thing is, PL/PgSQL already is the exception here, since it's the only language which does this error message suppression. So if people did think this suppression was a good idea, only the people using PL/PgSQL were vocal enough to get the behavior changed. I'm not looking to change that.

I can see where it's a lot nicer not to have the context visible for people who only care about the contents of the message, but the way it's done in PL/PgSQL right now is just not good enough. On the other hand, the backwards compatibility breakage of doing this in libpq is quite extensive. The most simple option seems to be to just allow a GUC to change PL/PgSQL's behavior to match what all other PLs are doing.
