-// GenerateSentinelErrors makes the sentinel errors for the gui. We're defining it here
-// because we can't do package-scoped errors with localization, and also because
-// it seems like package-scoped variables are bad in general
-// https://dave.cheney.net/2017/06/11/go-without-package-scoped-variables
-// In the future it would be good to implement some of the recommendations of
-// that article. For now, if we don't need an error to be a sentinel, we will just
-// define it inline. This has implications for error messages that pop up everywhere
-// in that we'll be duplicating the default values. We may need to look at
-// having a default localisation bundle defined, and just using keys-only when
-// localising things in the code.
