The smart_exceptions parse transform does a bit of
this, but that approach is limited for various
technical reasons. I'd also like:

- function names associated with raised exceptions
- line numbers for undef calls, bad funs, etc
- line numbers and variable info for the stack (even
if tail recursion makes this incomplete)
- line numbers etc. for exceptions when building
binaries

In short, enriched context information should be
available wherever exceptions can be raised. This info
should be present in, or accessible from, the
'exception object' or exception reason itself.

Best,
Thomas
