What I'd intended here was the first suggestion of yours. Initially,
it was actually a combination of Thom's two suggestions, but this was
messed up at some point.
What I suggest is that this be changed to match the first suggestion
here (the intended message), since the "ON CONSTRAINT ... " variant is
really just an escape hatch that I don't expect will see much use. I
tried to encourage use of the conventional inference mechanism
everywhere.
