Comparing

	git grep \( -e die --or -e die \) --and -e '\."' -- '*.c'

and

	git grep \( -e die --or -e die \) --and --not -e '\."' -- '*.c'

tells me that we omit periods, mostly.

Well, [6/5] is on top of [1/5] which had the problem of
parroting unsanitized user input, so I'd rather use a clean
patch that does only this error message cleanups.
