Sure, it would not be strictly homogeneous with other stuff.

On the other hand, ISTM desirable that the "hint"ness quality of the
message is clear, because this is directly actionnable help, where other
messages just report a failure (cannot open log file, failed to set timer,
whatever), but do not provide much help for solving it, so I would rather
keep something with the "hint" word somewhere.
