All right, E/W/S sounds good. I'm actually faulty of a misnomer by
calling the field plpgsql_condition_name. It's more like spec_name, and
it will be used to generate plpgsql condition names for E entries and
rows in errcodes.sgml for all entries.

Remember that there will also be Section: lines there, because
errcodes.sgml needs to know where particular the error classes start and
end.

So:

    sqlstate E/W/S errcode_macro_name spec_name

where spec_name is lowercase and underscore-separated.

errcodes.h would be generated by splitting sqlstate into letters and
emitting `#define errcode_macro_name MAKE_SQLSTATE('x','x','x','x','x')'

plerrcodes.h would be generated by emitting `{ "spec_name",
errcode_macro_name },' for each E line

errcodes.sgml would be generated by emitting a <row/> element with
sqlstate, spec_name in uppercase and with underscores stripped and just
spec_name. The Section: lines would generate table headers.

... and spiexceptions.h in plpython would be "spec_name" with
underscores converted to camel case and errcode_macro_name

How does that sound?
