New error code to track unsupported contexts

Hi all,

When pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects is run in a context that is not
the one of an event trigger, currently the error code
ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED is returned. Wouldn't it be better to
have an error to define an out-of-context instead? It seems that it
would be a good thing to have more error verbosity for situations like
the case above. Note that this idea has been mentioned on this ML a
couple of weeks back. In any case, attached is a patch showing the
idea.

Opinions? Is that worth having?
Regards,

Anything ever happen with this? (FWIW, I'm in favor of it. Reporting the
feature isn't supported is confusing...)

Not opposed to the idea.

Maybe it should be in class 39 'External Routine Invocation Exception'
instead, like ERRCODE_E_R_I_E_TRIGGER_PROTOCOL_VIOLATED is used by
various trigger functions. We could invent
ERRCODE_E_R_I_E_EVENT_TRIGGER_PROTOCOL_VIOLATED with value 39P03, for
example.

This got lost in translation..

This looks fine to me, in the spirit of
ERRCODE_E_R_I_E_TRIGGER_PROTOCOL_VIOLATED. A refreshed patch gives the
attached, taking into account the event table_rewrite.
