Yeah. I think expand_fmt_string() is pretty costly if you are doing a
lot of errors (e.g. write a function that uses an EXCEPTION block to
map ERROR -> NULL return and then do SELECT catch_errors(blah) FROM
generate_series(1,10000000) g or so. It seems altogether likely to me
that getting rid of the need for expand_fmt_string() will make for a
net win.
