[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47874] error/warning fail when only argument looks like an error/warning ID

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #47874 (project octave):

How about just making the usage error more explicit.  If the error message
were

"error: call to error with identifier 'XX:YY' requires message"

then the end user would at least get the message that the programmer intended,
as well as the programmer getting told to clean up their act.

I'm always puzzled why error messages don't display more readily-available
information.

If that is acceptable, I'll write a patch soon.
