Hi,

Had you split the patch conceptually, the changes to the tests would have been included where appropriate.

I consider a patch _breaking_ a test case, with a follow up patch to the test case, a _bug_.

And I consider a change in error messages not good, _unless_ the changes have a real value in practice. Which I maintain they do not, in this patch-series' case.

Ciao, Dscho
