Instances of errcontext() elsewhere don't use either initcap or
terminating period. I think that's probably good to stick with,
but the message guidelines need to document that these messages
shouldn't follow the "full sentence" style.

Sure. Sorry about that. Looking at other uses it looks like the most
consistent would be to have no initial cap and no trailing period. I'll
adjust it that way if you like. Is there anything else you want adjusted?

cheers
