Okay, done that way. I also made sure we got the same info for error
reporting. It's not identical, but arguably better, going from:

Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 4480) line 3, near "'btree' xxx"
(Missing operator before xxx?)
../../../src/include/catalog/pg_amop.dat: error parsing line 20:

to:

Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 12) line 20, near "'btree' xxx"
(Missing operator before xxx?)
error parsing ../../../src/include/catalog/pg_amop.dat
