I'm not sure a single library as a home to all of the various error
messages is the right approach. I thought, based on re-reading the
thread you link to, that the idea was to come up with a standard schema
for error payloads and then let the projects fill in the details. We
might need a library for utility functions, but that wouldn't actually
include the error messages.

Did I misunderstand?
