Even if there were tests I don't think they would have needed any
updation as most of the tests (at least those that I came across) that
check for failure seem not to be checking for what error message gets
printed. They seem to test only if the command fails (using
test_must_fail in most cases, I guess).
Moreover, as a consequence of my assumption that the tests don't check
for the error messages themselves; I haven't even thought of checking
whether the tests or the travis-ci build succeeded as a consequence of
my patches that touch "only" the error messages!
