Agreed.

The alternative of doing the assignment in each case of the same switch
does not look too terrible:
case T_IdentifySystemCmd:
+ cmdtag = "IDENTIFY_SYSTEM";
+ set_ps_display(cmdtag);
IdentifySystem();
+ EndReplicationCommand(cmdtag);
break;
case T_BaseBackupCmd:
+ cmdtag = "BASE_BACKUP";
+ set_ps_display(cmdtag);
PreventInTransactionBlock(true, cmdtag);
SendBaseBackup((BaseBackupCmd *) cmd_node);
+ EndReplicationCommand(cmdtag);
break;
