The canonical way to represent "no error hint" is making it null, which shortcuts the error() call altogether. This fixes the output by removing the line which said just "error:". Alternatively, one could make the function treat empty strings like null strings, which would make it resemble its original script implementation more closely, but that doesn't seem like a worthwhile goal. If anything, I'd go in the opposite direction and assert() that the argument is not an empty string.
