Comment(by vladimir_prus):

 The way I meant to use the 'what' text, is after printing a suitable
 preamble. E.g.
 {{{
 Error has occured: <text-from-what>
 }}}

 In such context, capitalization is not needed. It seems to be that
 prepending error messages with some preamble, even just "Error:" helps to
 distinguish them from other output from the program.
