This would make the feature much less useful.  Better to change the docs.

backtrace_functions emits trace for any elog

[Ilya Gladyshev]

Hi,
I used backtrace_functions to debug one of my ideas and found its behavior 
counter-intuitive and contradictory to it own docs. I think the GUC is supposed 
to be used to dump backtrace only on elog(ERROR) (should it also be done for 
higher levels? not sure about this), but, in fact, it does that for any 
log-level. I have attached a patch that checks log-level before attaching 
backtrace.

Regards,
Ilya
