Hi,
is there a non-implementation reason as to why there are no expressions
allowed in the arguments to the format string to RAISE, or is that just
not implemented yet?
Thanks.

Just not done yet AFAIK. It would require some changes to the parser for
plpgsql, but nothing too extreme. Might make a good project for
someone learning more about PG's code.
