I would not do it that way. That would require making this test for
every error message. This would introduce too much redundancy.

Essentially, I think the _right_ solution would be to use a "portable"
format string syntax inside TeXmacs and use wrappers to the error
functions which convert the format string to the correct syntax for
this version of guile.

Probably the format string syntax should be srfi-28.
