Suggestion in this case is really obvious: describe what is the error
(and in some cases where it is), not just state there is one. In your
case that would be “Exxx: Expected number as a timer ID”. In Neovim I
do this in the “compatible with Vim” fashion: xxx is a number from
e_invarg or whatever was the error message in Vim. In Vim, I guess,
you will need to allocate a new error code which is inconvenient in
many fashions (I would write “timers/invalid-tid: Expected number as a
timer ID”, not Exxx: {domain}/{msgid}), guess this is why Bram avoids
creating useful error messages in many cases.
