Ah-hah! Do you have a suggestion, or shall I do more research as to
what's available and pick a good way of stringifying arbitrary messages?
with-output-to-string is probably not an option either, I suppose? It's
not huge deal to just assume that msg must be a string at run time
(after all, that's what the documentation states), but I'm keen to make
error-reporting code very robust to strange inputs, as it's rarely well
tested and it's a right pain if the error you get from some exceptional
circumstance is "bad argument type - not a string: some-symbol" ;-)
