 ## What you get
 
 - `context.Context` first on every call that can block. Cancelling it calls into the engine's interrupt, and the failure that comes back answers `errors.Is` against both `context.Canceled` and `zu.Interrupted`, because a caller who wrote the deadline and a caller handling the failure ask different questions of the same error. A context that can never be cancelled starts no goroutine.
-- `errors.Is` and `errors.As` against `*zu.Error`, which carries `Code`, `Message`, `StandardText`, `DocURL`, `Severity`, `Retryable`, `Position` and the source line the position points into. The statuses are sentinels of their own: `errors.Is(err, zu.Conflict)` is the retry question and needs no unwrapping.
+- `errors.Is` and `errors.As` against `*zu.Error`, which carries `Code`, `Message`, `StandardText`, `DocURL`, `Severity`, `Retryable`, `Position` and the source line the position points into. It also carries the rest of the diagnostic record ISO 39075 subclause 23.2 asks for: `SubjectKind` and `Subject` are what the condition is about when it is about something the statement named, and `Graph` and `Schema` are where the statement was running. A program that highlights the offending label in an editor reads the name off the record rather than out of an English sentence. The statuses are sentinels of their own: `errors.Is(err, zu.Conflict)` is the retry question and needs no unwrapping.
 - Range-over-func iteration: `rows.All()` is an `iter.Seq[Row]`, and `zu.Iter[T]` is an `iter.Seq2[T, error]` that streams into your own type.
 - Three levels of reading, in the order you reach for them: `Scan` into concrete destinations, `Collect[T]` and `Iter[T]` into a struct matched by `zu` tags or by name, and `Int64s`, `Float64s`, `NodeOffsets` and `Valid` for a whole column borrowed from the result without a copy.
 - The seven temporal types spelled out rather than flattened into `time.Time`. A date is a `zu.Date`, a time of day is a `zu.LocalTime`, and a year-month duration is a `zu.YearMonth`, because a `time.Time` made out of a time of day is a date somebody invented. The three that name an instant scan into a `time.Time` when you ask for one.
