Alternatively, it could be useful to keep error messages in a table, so 
that their language could be switched at runtime (and/or interesting 
things could be done with a metatable). Only their indices would have to 
be #defined.
(unfortunately this would cost memory and would probably not be a good 
idea for resource-constrained devices)
