Agreed.

In numeric_div_safe():

+div_error:
+    ereturn(escontext, NULL,
+            errcode(ERRCODE_DIVISION_BY_ZERO),
+            errmsg("division by zero"));

I would make that label something more specific like "division_by_zero".

I don't mind. I haven't looked at it too closely, but I'm broadly
happy with it. I think any issues are probably now minor cosmetic
things, so if you've been looking in more detail and are happy to
commit it, then go ahead. Otherwise, I can take it if you prefer.
