Actually, the error codes returned by qcopy_file_preserving contain
all the information about when the error occurred, as you can see in
copy_file_preserving. All that copy_file_preserving does is turn error
codes into error messages, just like strerror, only it conflates
producing the strings and raising an error, so it's less flexible. I
was thinking that a gnulib strerror could add support for these error
messages without the need for extra functions like
copy_file_preserving, and hence without the need for ugly names like
qcopy_file_preserving.
