But none of our regression tools are written in it.  I also must confess that
std::pair<> is still a bit ugly though I could provide wrapper macros.

But the second part of the pair really needs to be an object.  Error messages
are printf style with var args, etc.  I suppose I could do the whole asprintf()
thing and end up with a 'return fail_err(...)' and have the status methods
return a struct.
