Agreed.

I would not want to rollback some statements and not others within a
transaction. I would like a complete rollback to happen, but only when
the exception propogates out of the exception block unhandled, not when
the exception is first thrown. Maybe if I could get into the TRY
section of the PG_CATCH()/PG_TRY() construct without an intervening
elog(ERROR) then I'd have a chance ...

Thanks for all these ideas. I'm just getting to know the PG code tree,
and I appreciate the guidance.
