Lassi gave us a great example of why 'code is subpar compared to 'number:
After searching around more, it seems to be true for every facility there is either an integer code, a symbolic name, or both. I was trying to find situations where there is a non-numeric code (something that can't be interpreted by a human) as well as a name. But that doesn't seem to be a pattern actually in use for errors.
So I can live with 'number and 'name.
Maybe "for a (possibly localized or localizable)" since we may require the user or IDE/whatever to go to some effort, plus the English version must always be accessible for searching?
Done. However, as I keep pointing out, in a client/server situation you may not be able to get text that is not localized after the fact.
Errr, -function, not -procedure?!?!?!!???
Fixed.
I like to group foreign-interface right after scheme-procedure
An oversight. Fixed.
All these changes are pushed to johnwcowan now.
