Agreed. If we can clarify the messages, and/or make sure the
terminology they use is documented, that'd be a good thing; but let's
not just remove them.

I think that Peter's real concern is whether these are worth
translating, and I share that doubt. Perhaps we should invent an
errdetail_internal, parallel to errmsg_internal, that works like
errdetail but doesn't treat the message as a candidate for translation?
