Yes. That's the responsibility of <whatever> detects the
"condition" and repackages it. There's no need (IMO) to
provide tools by which a developer can ask:
isSupersetOf(DISK_FULL, IO_ERROR);
The scheme I am outlining doesn't *eliminate* careful thought
regarding what an error *is* or how they should be structured.
Rather, it tries to automate the drudgery that would otherwise
discourage developers from spending *any* time trying to report
anything other than one of a *handful* of errors -- as NUMBERS!
