Because Guile does not provide this information.

From my understanding, no.  Well, it is not easy, but I could  be wrong.

> 3. If not, is the code path that I patched also used for other failures making the modification I demonstrated above a bad idea?

Instead of modifying the "generic" message, it seems more appropriate
to collect the error, i.e., add another case for the match.


All the best,
