```
Replace the chain of if statements with table of strings.

I changed the commit message. Logic of table has changed. To make it more
clear I added three dimensions of the table.

I am not sure if the message is "diagnostic"; it looks more like
reminder text to me.

I almost agree with the above use of a strange brace opening/closing
convention in order to reduce the indentation levels [*1*]
but then perhaps the above can be dedented even further?

Do you still need this variable after making it a multi-dimentional
array?


[Footnote]

*1* i.e. otherwise we would need something like

	message[][][] = {
				{
					{
                                        	...,
                                                ...
					},
					{
                                        	...,
                                                ...
					},
				},
                                ...
			};

```
