Doesn't that argument then apply to the other messages which I pointed
out in my follow-up to Andres, where the detailed info is in the hint
and the main error message is essentially 'permission denied'? Also, if
we're going to make these error-messages related to role attributes be
'you need role attribute X', should we consider doing the same for the
regular 'permission denied' error messages?
I can understand the arguments about loss of detail or having the detail
in the hint instead of the error message. I don't understand why we'd
want the messaging to be inconsistent.
Thanks,
Stephen
