There is guidance in the documentation regarding error message style:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/error-style-guide.html
```
Detail and hint messages: Use complete sentences, and end each with a period.
Capitalize the first word of sentences. Put two spaces after the period if
another sentence follows (for English text; might be inappropriate in other
languages).
```
I also noticed that some existing DETAIL and HINT messages do not fully follow
this guideline. But I believe new code should adhere to the documented style as
much as possible. In particular, DETAIL and HINT messages should begin with a
capital letter and follow the complete-sentence convention.
Hi, v2 attached, WIP, the only known remaining issue to me is that
windows might fail to compile as it probably doesn't have concept of
uid_t... I'm wondering what to do there.
I don't think it will arise, as Windows doesn't have the siginfo stuff,
AFAIK.
