Can you be specific about what additional info you need?

A error of the user rather than of the author of the code.

user-error is just a standard "debug-ignored-error". So instead of
using error plus adding the text of the error to debug-ignored-errors,
you can just user user-error.
If Drew gets a user-error that drops him in the debugger, it's because
he removed` user-error' from debug-ignored-errors.

By "actual problem", I meant "a bug in the code", i.e. a problem that
can be fixed by correcting the code.
