It is faster for someone that already knows how things work, but it
may make newcomers skip the docs and it duplicates the information
there. In addition, for the non-error case, it makes it more verbose
which may not be appreciated. So maybe we should point to the docs
instead? What do you think?

Also, the patch doesn't add instructions for all the cases, so
somebody that may have hit one of the documented ones + not have read
the docs may wonder where to find them the solution or why they are
missing.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel
