Comment (by goldfire):

 The Right Solution is to be more like Idris and allow users to, say, click
 on parts of error messages to expand or contract them. That's a major
 project. But the pressure is mounting for such an improvement, and so I'll
 leery of putting in gobs more complexity into command-line flags.
