I agree that identifiers like S2IS0053 are a pain when looking into the
sources. However, that situation looks like an intent to introduce
international error messages. I think, it would be a step backwards to
hard code the message texts into the source code.

And I say this even though I am German. I usually prefer english
messages, because I don't understand them in german.

I think a compromise would be to change

  S2IS0053
   Interpreter code generation failed for expression %1s

into

  InterpreterCodeGenerationFailed
   Interpreter code generation failed for expression %1s

i.e., to make the message identifiers more mnemonic.
