I mean, the library can obviously translated the error to some meaningful
string. I mean that could be due to relying on internal compiled stuff that
we cannot use, but while I think that is a solid guess, I'd still evaluate
how it actually works to be sure.

If, after checking, this really seems to be unfeasible then lets go for
the string comparison with a TODO/FIXME comment point out why it's done
that way and that one might want to reevaluate if still required (in the
future)
