Subject: expr: Generalize wording of error message in expand_symbol().
X-Git-Url: http://git.cascardo.eti.br/?p=cascardo%2Fovs.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=ce57ea75e674b24209ed66058a88236c31277871

expr: Generalize wording of error message in expand_symbol().

The existing wording was very specific to the actual operation being
performed.  While this is nice for users, it becomes difficult to maintain
as more and more operations are added.  This commit makes the wording less
specific, because a third operation will start using this function in an
upcoming commit.
