I don't think that there is a good way to disambiguate that, and I agree
that parsing the error message text is not a very robust solution.

Is it really necessary to bother with the case that a statement is
explicitly canceled?  That should not happen too often, and if you have
statement_timeout set to non-zero, queries should not "hang" indefinitely
long anyway, right?
