Are you suggesting we need to support a way to _parse_ the path out of
the error message? If so, perhaps we should add a 'const char *extra[];'
member to struct svn_error_t.

If we extend svn_error_t we might also look into supporting >1 children,
to facilitate svn_error_compose_create(); compare Python's "raise from".
