+because they act like @code{die()} or @code{warn()}, but with a message
+which is more likely to be useful to a user of your module. In the case
+of @code{cluck}, @code{confess}, and @code{longmess} that context is a
+summary of every call in the call-stack. For a shorter message you can use
+@code{carp} or @code{croak} which report the error as being from where your
+module was called. There is no guarantee that that is where the error was,
+but it is a good educated guess.")
