It will be customizable, this is decided, as Eli has told me he's OK with it.

I think (message "%s") is both simpler and more future proof, since we may end
up with other features that this could apply to.

References to a single elaborated paragraph will make for much easier
maintenance of the documentation, so let's do that.
