I take it since I was explicitly CC'd that the contrib comment was aimed
at me? I likely copied the convention from somewhere else in the
backend, but I don't care either way if you want to change them. However
I guess we should coordinate since I've been berated regarding error
codes and will likely go change at least two of them in tablefunc soon
(not likely before Thursday though)...
