    I haven't checked whether you have that, but that screams for a CLI
    utility to show the paragraph without having to browse documentation.

 So the idea would be to have a simple utility so that you could execute
 like this:

 {{{
 $ b10-msg BIND10_SELECT_ERROR
 There was a fatal error in the call to select(), used to see if a child
 process has ended or if there is a message on the message bus. This should
 not happen under normal circumstances and is considered fatal, so BIND 10
 will now shut down. The specific error is printed.
 }}}

 We can think of possible extensions to this (like an interface which
 supports tab-expansion, or searches by regular expression, and so on), but
 I think this basic approach would cover 95% of use cases.
