"""Facilities for generating error messages during type checking.

Don't add any non-trivial message construction logic to the type
checker, as it can compromise clarity and make messages less
consistent. Add such logic to this module instead. Literal messages, including those
with format args, should be defined as constants in mypy.message_registry.

Historically we tried to avoid all message string literals in the type
checker but we are moving away from this convention.
