 additional errors available in an extra sub-key

 Agreed, it's a bit non-obvious there.

 significantly help in deciding if we do need to retain this though.

 There's a few potential cases for this. One of the key ones might be
 multiple validation errors, so e.g. you're trying to create a post, but a)
 you're not authorised, and b) you sent an invalid post date.

 Attached [attachment:34551.diff] as an initial patch at this.
