 * Hacky solution to allow expressing both frontend and backend error reports
 * in one macro call.  First argument of log_error is an errcode() call of
 * some sort (ignored if FRONTEND); the rest are errmsg_internal() arguments,
 * i.e. message string and any parameters for it.
 *
 * Caller must provide the gettext wrapper around the message string, if
 * appropriate, so that it gets translated in the FRONTEND case; this
 * motivates using errmsg_internal() not errmsg().  We handle appending a
 * newline, if needed, inside the macro, so that there's only one translatable
 * string per call not two.
