bzerror returns an array containing the error string and error number.

bz2_ vs. bz_ ... this is a coin-toss decision. We might run into an
extension in the future where bz is a good choice for the name, thought I
feel it is unlikely.
Personally, I don't *really* care - if it came to a heated discussion and a
vote, I would go for bz2_... - just so that the no one could tell us "I told
you so..." in the future. ;)

Agreed. We could try to save a bit of space doing /error/err/ or
/string/str/ or /number/num/. Where do we draw the line on
length/convenience vs. readability?
