Unless you want to write SPI code that never calls elog(), it's gonna be
tough to avoid the conflict on DEBUG. I suppose sooner or later we'll
have to rename the elog severity symbols ... but it's not a change that
I'm looking forward to making.
In any case there's too much time pressure to consider wide-ranging code
changes for 7.1. Right now I don't want to do more than rearrange the
contents of a small number of include files.
