In retrospective for backport, string should have been kept if possible.

In old code, error reporting had several irregularities which got
cleaned up in new uscan.  This reorganization was quite extensive
so I should have warned James when he started working on it.

Now uscan reports more detailed error analysis, please allow this new
feature update which already happened.
