I don't really object, but I wonder what do we really gain from it, compared to using
ERR_SLAVE_DEFINED and shipping the complete error message with it?
To the user it would look the same, the only difference would be if you wanted
to check for this error code from some application code, but that's obviously
not the case for kio_tar, right?
