I vaguely recall a wishlist already posted to use human readable names  
in any sort of error or warning message instead of (or in addition to)  
the internal identifier.  Hoever, I can't find it now, so it would  
probably be a good idea, just to get it recorded.

I also like the idea of having two levels of output for the consistency  
checker - brief if run automatically, such as when saving the file, and  
detailed if run manually.
