+Function and reason codes should consist of upper case characters,

+function codes into function names by looking in the header files
+for an appropriate function name, if none is found it just uses

When you are using new function or reason codes, run B<make errors>.
The necessary B<#define>s will then automatically be added to the
sub-library's header file.
Although a library will normally report errors using its own specific
-macro, a different macro is used. This is normally only done when a
-library wants to include ASN1 code which must user the ASN1 libraries
