another point re. rationalized error messages. Sometimes a module uses
the same fn call for two different maps, and the error messages are
slightly different (e.g. "<%s> base map not found" and "<%s> cover map
not found"). In that case it is best to keep the existing (cleaned)
error messages. Similar to the use of G_define_option() versus
G_define_standard_option().

[but slightly different, with G_define_standard_option() you can follow
it with e.g. a single change, e.g. opt->description="text"]
