and goes on to give a very good (IHMO...) case for more precise error

On the other hand, the messages are already verbose and a little on
the cryptic side for non-technical users.

Perhas the error-message-level should be configurable?  Or should there
be provision for an error daemon, like syslogd, that can try to pop up
a little window with a picture of a bomb and a red border?
