I also don't like the fact that the error codes aren't the standard errno E* constants, but we already had this debate once. :-) (As with threading, it is my opinion that Posix should be acknowledged.)
The intent _is_ to supply the actual system error code (errno for POSIX). There is another function available to convert to a portable code if desired.
My point was that errno should be the portable error code. This will save you one mapping. Your arguments for not using E* were purely implementation-driven and at this stage of the library development it makes sense to revisit the issue from standardization point of view.
