It should operate the same as what was decided for RAISE.

I'd say it should also support the remaining RAISE options as well 
(COLUMN, CONSTRAINT, DATATYPE, TABLE, SCHEMA).

I think hide_statement is a better name than ishidestmt. It would be 
nice if RAISE supported that too...

I think the function should also allow specifying a condition name 
instead of a SQL state, same as RAISE does.

In other words, this function and raise should operate exactly the same 
unless there's a really strong reason not to. Otherwise it's just going 
to create confusion.
