Errors shown to the user should always have a message. One situation where it is not always the case now are unimplemented feature errors. Those used to be treated as asserts but often they can actually reach the user. This PR deals with them by either converting to asserts or adding a message. Then makes the message mandatory in
solUnimplemented()
/solUnimplementedAssert()
and in the error reporter.This partially addresses cases like #15669, which currently get properly reported but in a very confusing way.
I could probably convert many more of these to asserts but in cases where I wasn't sure I decided to err on the side of keeping them as is.
