Anthony, beware .. as you probably already know this in the same area as 
https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/359

If we can mitigate the memory issue, I think sending a term and then 
formatting it in Erlang would be better. Less code in beam is always 
better in my view.
I haven't looked at the whole error-handling stack recently though, I 
could be missing something.
