No comments on the latest patches — maybe that’s a good
sign of their quality? ;)

Anyway, unless there are any objections, I plan to commit at least
the 0001 patch and backpatch it to all supported branches. I've
attached the patches for the back branches for reference.

Regarding the backpatch: in v17 and earlier, since errhint_internal()
doesn't exist, I used errhint() instead. That means the hint message
might be translated twice, but I think that's minor and acceptable.
Or do you think we should instead backpatch errhint_internal() to
those older branches to avoid the double translation?
