You might be able to avoid a proliferation of related options (such as
conflict_log_table) if you renamed the main option to
"conflict_log_destination" like Sawada-San was suggesting.

e.g.

conflict_log_destimation="table" --> use default table named by code
conflict_log_destimation="table=myschema.mytable" --> table name
nominated by user

e.g. if wanted maybe this idea can extend to logs too.

conflict_log_destimation="log" --> use default pg log files
conflict_log_destimation="log=my_clt_log.txt" --> write conflicts to a
separate log file nominated by user
