Thank you for the new version.

By the way in the upthread,

I agree to David in that it's better to avoid that kind of complexity
if possible. The significant point of separating them was that you
don't want to suggest a false value range for non-integer inputs.

Looking the latest patch, the wrong suggestions and the complexity
introduced by the %lld alternative are already gone. So I think we're
reaching the simple solution where pg_strtoint64_range doesn't need to
be involved in message building.

"<hoge> must be an integer in the range (mm .. xx)"

Doesn't the generic message work for all kinds of failure here?

# It is also easy for transators than the split message case.
