Not to mention that there could be more than one extension on the call
stack. I think tying this statically to the ereport call site is
fine.
The mechanism that Andres describes for sourcing the name seems a bit
overcomplex though. Why not just allow/require each extension to
specify its name as a constant string? We could force the matter by
redefining PG_MODULE_MAGIC as taking an argument:
PG_MODULE_MAGIC("hstore");
