     pet peeve: displaying errors as numeric codes.

     "error 13" and "error -1073741819" are unnecessarily obfuscatory. I have to keep the System Error Codes (0-499) and NTSTATUS Values pages bookmarked, and these are error code types I work with almost daily.

     displaying the actual name of the error alongside the code should be a trivial function offered by the OS and/or stdlib.
