Improve googleability by using real error messages in documentation #2393

Closed as not planned

Description

@JukkaL

For example, http://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/common_issues.html could have the actual mypy error messages for examples to make it easier to Google for common errors.

    I think this is something I can take on. I'll run through the examples and add actual error messages where appropriate.

    There's more than that particular chapter of the docs right?

    Yup, and I'm reading the docs through now to look for more stuff. I figured I'd eagerly PR to make sure my approach is ok.

    I'll update my PR description to be more clear that it's incremental.
