I did spent some time a couple of years ago writing an April 1st joke
that proposed replacing error messages with unique error codes.  I never
sent it, but while writing the rationale part I realized that it could
be actually useful to drive a "knowledge base" kind of app.  You could
get back

1. source code location where it is used
2. occasions on which it has been re****ted before
3. related bug fixes

That would rock -- I have wished for such a thing (in fact I troll the
PO catalogs by hand at times.)
