Then please remove it. Either this is an intended feature
or it is not. If you don't want `define-error` to provide
exactly the same thing that you can get by using property
`error-conditions' directly, then leave its definition and
doc as they are, but change the `bookmark.el' code back to
using `error-conditions' directly, so any code that expects
error condition `bookmark-errors' to be available will not
be surprised. Or remove it from bookmark.el altogether,
if you don't care about such backward compatibility. Or
provide a MESSAGE arg for the definition of `bookmark-errors'.
One way or another, the doc and behavior should match, and
bookmark.el should be made coherent with both.
