For me, at least, a simple text -> errno name ("EPERM") would go a long way,
since they aren't internationalized strings, and are therefore usable in
scripts in useful ways. On the topic of man pages though -- I was interested
to see that Mac OS X does not ship with an errno(2), despite shipping with a
BSD-derived errno.h.
