New description:

 In #5624 we added `-fdefer-type-errors` to turn type errors into warnings.
 We can do this for other kinds of errors too, notably out-of-scope errors,
 and there are plenty more errors that can be deferred by replacing the
 erroneous subexpression by a call to `error`.  See also #1341
