I could see that some kind of text could be useful in debug more. But when running in production mode, I would just use the error code number, no text at all. If the error code is not precise enough, then we should create new error codes. The classic counter argument is that creating too many error codes provides information about the state of the stack that can be used by attackers. But then, adding explicit messages provides just as much information to attackers, so cannot possibly be better than adding more error codes...
