... there was already opinion upthread that this should be on by
default, which I agree with. You shouldn't be hitting cases like
this commonly (if so, they're bugs to fix or the errcode should be
rethought), and the failure might be pretty hard to reproduce.
I'm not really sold that we even need YA GUC, for that matter.
How about committing the behavior without a GUC, and then
back-filling one if we get pushback?
