FWIW, I am +1 for the improvement of this error message.

Note that there is a very similar proposal here:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/ZkM30paAD8Cr/Bix@ip-10-97-1-34.eu-west-3.compute.internal

The only reason why I did not do one or the other yet is that this is
an improvement, hence I was waiting for v18 to open.  If somebody
feels differently, feel free to proceed before that with the format
you like.  Still I'd vote for the addition of the refcount to the
patch proposed on this thread, to provide more debugging info to the
information reported.
