There's also internationalization that actually happens too, right? That doesn't happen with grep..

What about with "man errno". Man pages are slightly more likely to be present than application (not system) include files, and man should support localization. It gives more noise than grepping an include file, but the noise might be signal and can be filtered.

For me, at least, a simple text -> errno name ("EPERM") would go a long way, since they aren't internationalized strings, and are therefore usable in scripts in useful ways. On the topic of man pages though -- I was interested to see that Mac OS X does not ship with an errno(2), despite shipping with a BSD-derived errno.h.
