Subject: [PATCH] Rename BaseTask.send_error to send_bus_error_message
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Symmetric with send_bus_message; "send_bus_error" on its own reads
ambiguously (sounds like an error about the bus, à la SIGBUS) and the
underlying types are BusTaskErrorMessage / BusTaskLocalErrorMessage,
so keeping "_message" in the name matches what's actually sent.
