I can understand to this idea - but it don't work yet, respective it
working only for one level of call. If you get exception from nested
call, then you get CONTEXT from custom exception too:

Some flag of RAISE statement can be solution, but I don't like it.
Probably you would to change behave for all RAISE statements in
function - not individually for one or second. And when you debug some
application, you probably invite any solution that ensure change
without necessity to modify function's source code. I know so GUC are
limited, but in this cases, it has a minimal impact to data - and it
can be ajusted on database, session, function level. A analogy is our
solution for SQL identifiers and plpgsql variables solving collisions
- it is best, and I newer heard about any issue.
