Is fixing that tractable? Cryptic error messages is one of the most frustrating turn-offs to new would-be contributors.

Of all the things that I dislike about MUMPS, error messages aren't anywhere near the top of the list.

I'm currently at epic, but I know there are other companies still using the language.
