What you're really wishing here is that errors generated within libpq
itself had SQLSTATE and other decoration.  They don't :-(.  Improving
this is on the to-do list, but someone is going to have to sit down and
do several days/weeks of hard and mostly-boring work to make it happen.
Do you want to volunteer?
