Error message does not sound right: Section 22.3 #929

The following error message "Already variable with this name in this scope." doesn't sound quite right to me.

Suggestion: "A variable with this name has already been declared in this scope."

Yeah, it's not great, but I wanted to keep it short to keep the line length of the code under 63 characters since that makes things easier in the print edition. :-/ Trade-offs.
