Maybe.

I could also say that the branch format code knows that it is looking
for a single line, not a whole page. So it knows right away that the
'branch-format' file is not correct when the first line doesn't match.

Depending on the abstraction, it is hard for the high-level code to know
how to format the error it is getting. Or it has to special case every
possible error that is being raised.

It is possible to do so, but I can see an argument either way.
