Simon,
From the parser you can see the allowed raise function syntax.
expr ::= RAISE LP raisetype COMMA nm RP
Where nm is the error message. The nm nonterminal can be replaced by the
following:
nm ::= id
nm ::= STRING
nm ::= JOIN_KW
and the id can bereplaced by;
id ::= ID
id ::= INDEXED
So you can see that the parser is basically designed to only accept a
STRING at that position, not an expression which is what would be
required to allow concatenation and other function calls. I assume that
the other possible values (join keyword etc) would be caught and
reported as errors.
