Yeah, I came across this a few weeks ago as well. I was thinking maybe
we can expand the ereport() macro instead of duplicating things. It
looks a bit ugly and I don't think we do it anywhere else ... I mean
something like

errstart(WARNING, NULL);
if (cond)
errmsg( ... );
else
errmsg( ... );
// and so on
errfinish(__FILE__, __LINE__, __func__);

Is this too ugly to live? (I swear I had this on a branch already, but
can't find it right this instant.)
