Ok, but when we're talking methods, we have the choice of defining them.
The definition of $@->id could be "a unique error id", even though the
func wasn't $@->a_unique_error_id.

My only point is less is more. "new", "my", "our", etc, etc. $@->id,
$@->code, $@->errno, are all shorter than $@->unique_id and, IMO, carry
the same semantics.
