I thought this when I read the manual but when I came to use the functions I
found the API rather nice. It saves building strings in the app. Take for
example an error message. This breaks down nicely into three bits: what
action was attempted, what went wrong and why as in "Error creating
schema/Could not open file xxx/permission denied". Since these messages tend
to come from different sources they fit nicely into the API.
