I've wanted that a few times, FWIW. I would do a split, mainly for
clarity.

This does not stress me much, either. I can see that OAuth introduces
at least two calls of json_errdetail() in libpq, and that would matter
there.
case JSON_EXPECTED_STRING:
- return psprintf(_("Expected string, but found \"%s\"."),
- extract_token(lex));
+ appendStringInfo(lex->errormsg,
+ _("Expected string, but found \"%.*s\"."),
+ toklen, lex->token_start);
Maybe this could be wrapped in a macro to avoid copying around
token_start and toklen for all the error cases.
