Where do I get all the messages library may throw?  How can I be sure 
that the message won't change in the next release, silently discarding my 
translation?

Informative library-provided messages are a myth.  The only informative 
part is an exception type, or a standardized error code--which is even 
better for localization.  The "writeln(e.toString())" approach only 
suffices for quick utilities not meant for use by an end user.
