Comment (by nh2):

 @carter

 a) I believe so.

 b) I do not know much about the stacktraces work, but as with profiling,
 these kind of run-time things still seem very orthogonal to embedding a
 source location into an error string.

 Of course ''any'' form of better error messages is very appreciated, just
 not sure if these should be treated as the same.
