Comment:

 I agree that the error message could be better, but fixing that is a
 research question.  Unlike some of the other type-error-message tickets,
 this one is not egregiously awful, and I can't see a way to improve it
 much.

 So I think I'll close the ticket, not because it's vacuous, but because I
 can't see us fixing it in the forseeable future.

 Simon
