+1. I don't care for the idea of "not moving from main error message to
errdetail" -- the rationale seems to be that errdetail might be hidden,
lost, or otherwise not read by the user; if that is so, why do we have
errdetail in the first place? We might as well just move all the
errdetails into the main message, huh?
