+// SAL_WARN(). Such messages are intended to be read by developers, not end-users. Developers are
+// (or should be) familiar with symbolic errno names in code anyway. strerror() is localized and the
+// localised error strings might be less familiar to a developer that happens to run a localised
+// environment.
