Well...

* Automatically add filename, line, function name:  Easy to code, lots of
  labour.  Should be lumped in with some other large change.

* Error codes:  I think there are only a handful of key messages that
  users (programs) need to detect cleanly, mostly constraint violations.
  The rest are "the query you sent is wrong -- fix your application" and
  "something went really wrong -- manual repair needed"

  So maybe this could be a smallish change.

* Translation:  If we want to use gettext I can get started.  I don't
  think I'm interested in using any other interface.
