Many atom parsers give the same error message, differing only in the name of the atom. If we use "%s does not take arguments", that should make life easier for translators, as they only need to translate one string. And in doing so, we can easily pull it into a helper function to make sure they are all using the exact same string. I've added a basic test here for %(HEAD), just to make sure this code is exercised at all in the test suite. We could cover each such atom, but the effort-to-reward ratio of trying to maintain an exhaustive list doesn't seem worth it.
