I agree. I rescind the whole hash-table change I made. :)

Gstein, and *especially* Karl, are absolutely adamant that the Worst
Possible Thing that can happen is to have errorcodes and descriptions
in different files. (Personally, I have more faith that future coders
won't be blockheads, but Greg and Karl have more experience in this
area.)

Honestly, I like gstein's new macro system. It's all in one file, and
it's very readable. Do you really find it confusing? Do you think
it's more likely to cause future coder errors than having tables in
two different files?
