I can't really say I object to this, but doing it in the PL allows the
parameters to be printed as well, akin to the
plpgsql.print_strict_params setting added in 9.4. Though I wonder if
that would still be possible if PL/PgSQL peeked inside the parse tree a
bit to pull out these constraints or something *waves hands*. Or
perhaps there's a better way to attach a helpful DETAIL line to the error.
