That's probably correct in theory, but it's a little less closely
related, and I'm not entirely sure how far we want to go with this.
Remember, the original purpose was to avoid having an internal error
(cache lookup failed, XX000) exposed as a user-visible error message.
Are we at risk from veering from actual bug-fixing off into useless
tinkering? Not sure.
