I'm not seeing the obvious benefit in this change. Despite its name
'error_report' is ultimately just a clever way to run printf()
on a text string. It can be used for errors, warnings, information
alike. If anything the current method is simply misnamed, and could
be changed to 'message_report'.

Daniel
