Error Code: 50013 Specify which permission is missing

[ZargorNET]

My idea is that upon getting a 50013 that we also get the name of the missing permission like
USE_EXTERNAL_EMOTES. With this in place, missing permissions handling would be much easier and less redundant code demanding.

Maybe this can be achieved by declaring the permission name in the string response, which comes along the code, in the next major API release.

It would be strange to have it as a string since all other current uses of permissions are ints.

Then maybe we can return the permission in its number or in this shifted state like in OAuth2 if multiple permissions are missing

Yes please, it would make everyone's life easier.

I'm wondering how any company can't think about it when publishing a public API. This is a basic :/

Agreeing with the commenter above, I don't get how nobody came to the conclusion that this is a basic feature while writing the endpoints.
And yet, a year later, there is still is no indication that this will ever be a thing.

This would be great for both debugging and for displaying helpful error messages to the users. I am aware that technically we could work it out client-side which permission is missing however it's far far more reliable and easier to handle if discord provided the information directly.

Please do this.
