Good idea! Meshes nicely with the existing grammar!

Hm, though error communications from the checker script
to the user
become a bit opaque - the only thing the periodic_hold_reason
could
say would be that the checker script returned false,
but not why.
But then again I suppose the checker could chirp an
update
to the hold reason attribute.

This isn't already an undocumented feature of condor_submit,
is it?
