I'm not sure it matters very much. If no existing error code jumps
out at you as being The Right Choice, just create a new one. The most
important thing is to have as many unambiguous identifiers as we need;
keeping them organized in some predictable way is secondary :-). (Of
course, if you see an obvious category to put it in, then that's
great.)
