Yeah, that's what I would have thought.

The implementation I had in mind was to just invent a
pg_log_error_internal() macro alias for pg_log_error().
That'd take about two lines counting the explanatory comment.
This approach would fail to suppress the cost of gettext's
trying to look up the string, but surely we aren't concerned
about that here --- we just want to not burden translators
with the string. (I need to check that gettext isn't smart
enough to see through a macro, though. If it is, a static
inline function should do.)
