Well, fine, but then it should fix both of them and remove
minimal_error_message altogether.  I would however suggest eyeballing
what happens when you try "\ef nosuchfunction" (with or without -E).
I'm pretty sure that the reason for the special error handling in these
functions is that the default error reporting was unpleasant for this
use-case.
