Review comment:
       My suggestion is meaningful, too.
   
   The verbose message says that the type doesn’t support named field lookup. 
So the reader will wonder whether it supports field lookup by other means. No, 
it doesn’t have fields. Just say that.
   
   A simple message is sufficient for the user to diagnose their problem.
