For now I'm using names like xstring_value, xcell_value, and so on for 
functions that accept these error message arguments.  They will not do 
any type conversions.  These changes will at least allow me to continue 
working on eliminating error state.  We can decide whether to keep these 
names or use something else later (but before the 4.2 release).
