I don't think that the need to scale beyond what we have in my
revision really exists. Some of the ereport sites are a bit unwieldy,
but I don't see that there is much that can be done about that - you
need to specify the information somewhere, and it makes sense to do it
at that point. The field names are frequently expanded in the error
message presented to the user anyway.
