Certainly. If the cc65 community and it's interaction patterns would be different I would have asked for additional opinions regarding this pull request. But as things stand I opted to make up my mind on my own.

Regaring your actual feedback:

As everybody knows I'm a non-CBM-guru so my thought was this: Entries 20 - 24 all have the same text. So in order to distinguish them I presume that the typical user has access to the numbers. You refering to the entries as "<number>, <text>" seems to support my presumption. Given that I thought that the experienced user would recognize the error rather by the number than by the text. And from that perspective it seemed sort of reasonable to me to user "custom" texts more targeting the less experienced user so everybody has something.

This of course presumes that the program prints both the number and the text - but that seems a pretty usual thing to do.

I generally agree with you. However I'd say that a program moving beyond the generic errors (and texts) towards the OS-specific errors (and texts) is probably willing to spend some resources on good user feedback. That might justify longer texts.

Just my two cents,
