Hi Jim, thanks for feedback :)

After using `grep -hr errdetail src/ | sed -E 's/^\s+//g' | sort |
uniq` I doubt there is any
real standard, but one can find there:
errdetail("The server process with PID %d is among those with the
oldest transactions.", minPid)
errdetail("The source process with PID %d is not running anymore.",
One could say that all those DETAIL log messages should start with an
uppercase letter, yet it didn't look good to me when above
"terminating connection ..."
started itself with a lowercase letter "t", and then next-line DETAIL
we would start
with an uppercase
"Signal..".
but, I'm open to any better proposal...
