    Improve error message annotation for GRANT/REVOKE on untrusted PLs. · 9bc33323
    Tom Lane authored
    The annotation for "ERROR: language "foo" is not trusted" used to say
    "HINT: Only superusers can use untrusted languages", which was fairly
    poorly thought out.  For one thing, it's not a hint about what to do,
    but a statement of fact, which makes it errdetail.  But also, this
    fails to clarify things much, because there's a missing step in the
    chain of reasoning.  I think it's more useful to say "GRANT and REVOKE
    are not allowed on untrusted languages, because only superusers can use
    untrusted languages".
    
    It's been like this for a long time, but given the lack of previous
    complaints, I don't think this is worth back-patching.
