Hello all,

I wonder if it would be ok to use an error code standard. Basically, 
every error message an extension / core thing throws (e.g. a debug or 
die) has a code of the form:

[your initials][Date][time]

You just write this as you're writing the code. E.g. if i was writing 
some code now, the error code would be:

df0504041339

Which i might use like:

if($mustBeTrue) {
	// do stuff
} else {
   die('Something bad happened df0504041339');
}

Then, when i see this i just grep for "df0504041339". The alternative 
could be "some error messgage".__LINE__.__FILE__;

What do you think?
