Thanks for the pointer, Carla. It seems that no one else is doing
a very good job of keeping this information up to date either. :-)

The CLI doesn't really have the concept of SEVERE, WARNING, etc. so
it's harder to decide which messages deserve message ids.

If the CLI were to include all the "cause" information in the message
catalog, who would display it and when?
