​Sounds like some nice work that will pinpoint Lisp errors

even more closely than stack traces do now.  But as noted

in an earlier message, things are not bad in the Lisp space.

Emacs C code is where we often lack any reasonable pointer

to the source of an error, so improving upon the core

mechanisms there would be most valuable.
